Here’s the plan 👇
✅ 2022: ban on the manufacture and import of these single use plastics
✅ 2023: ban on the sale
✅ 2025: ban on the export
Together these actions will eliminate more than 1.3 MILLION tonnes of plastic waste!

This is devastating local communities in the area! Their voices must be heard.
