Bulacan to no plastic and styro use...

Nice, that's very nice to hear. It is the same here in Cavite too. I mean at least around Bacoor and Imus area. It's all paper bags. Of course it's not that beneficial with me because I needed the bag for my trash but since I know it is beneficial for all of us if we could lessen the use of plastic then I don't mind carrying with me a reusable bag whenever I do grocery shopping. Happy mylotting as well.

So, would this mean, use paper instead? I hope this ordinance also has something to do about reforestation, because of course, if they will be using paperbags instead of plastics, then more trees will be cut. It is indeed a good idea, and if executed well, will result to a greater good. Good luck!

It is about time that we adhere to what would be good for our environment. We should do our best to preserve what we have

good day asdomencil, our place here have adopted that policy since last year. though at first it was a bit of adjustment as i personally always forgot to bring my eco-utility bag. although there was a grace period being given and imposed, the first month of implementation is still a part of the adjustment period. however, we get used to it and of course, adhering to the policy is a must. so now, i always fold an eco-utility bag and always put it inside my bag to prevent me to forget it.

It's goo to know this thing. Our province implemented the same July last year. I hope this will be implemented within country and other countries as well. Have a nice day!

This is a good start for the people of Bulacan. The move is right and just in time. I am sure that the use of plastic can be controlled in the provincial level. It is more effective if each municipality has a the same downgraded law on it. This movement will have a great result in the future and I hope that more places in our country will follow this law. Happy new year!!!

Oh i would be thrilled if this is implemented all over the country. I am all for using recyclable bags, earth or green bags for our groceries and all. it saves us or does not add more trash that gets to be collected. :D and it teaches people to be more responsible as well. =) =) Best Regards! See you Around! Happy mylotting.

The crusade against plastic is gaining much ground across several continents .It is wise notion aimed at reducing pollution of the earthy environment. All should be aware of the dangers of plastic waste getting accumulated in our surroundings.

I hope the whole Philippines will follow this example... this would certainly bring more positive effects to our environment... i just hope that they substitute plastic with something that people can reuse... like cloth bag or recycled paper bags... because it not recycled... then we tend to hurt the environment by cutting down trees to be used for making paper...

That is great news. I hope that my city would implement as such soon. In Marikina I think they have implemented this already and so as Davao. I also agree that after this project of the government to change from plastic to paper, they would also implement reforestation. Our forests need it badly, we can already see and feel the effects of bald mountains every typhoon that would pass our country. It is already an endless flooding in almost all parts of the country now. For others whose city doesn't implement this no to plastic and styro use, I hope the people will just be more conscious on bringing their own reusable bags when going shopping or to the market.

Strict implementation of these new ordinances is a huge step for the Filipinos. It has been long overdue, actually. We should have long been with the same bandwagon of eliminating the use of plastics and styros. We have known for so many years that these materials are non biodegradable and they are one of the causes that ruins our planet.

this is a good news. ever since the weather and climate had changed, people are getting to find solutions to help preserve our nature. this little step is a thumbs for me since plastics are the number waste in the environment. it cant be decayed and it will last for millions of years. like also Bulacan, our municipalities here in La Union is doing these things also. instead of using plastic bags for market, they implemented using a old news paper or any recycled paper to wrap products in the market.

Good it is nice to hear that information but is it really logical for us to banned the used of plastic? The invention of plastic is signed of growth. I think Politics must be used on the right perspective. The problem is not the plastic but the people using the plastic. Politician just go what is the demand of the clamor. They did not realized that they are ELECTED as our Leaders to decide the choices we made. I think the used of plastic must not be banned. What we must to emphasized is how to educate the people in the proper disposal of their waste and for the Govt. to used the teeth of the Law to implement what is to be implemented for me, banning the use of plastic is a plastic moved by itself

That is great news and I am happy for the province of Bulacan. I just hope that other provinces will follow through and implement such ordinance, strictly. Kudos to the local government of Bulacan.

I don't think banning plastic will bring more good than harm to our environment. Per se, plastic is not bad if properly dispose, the problems lies on the people's behavior, who use them and throw it away into our river and canal tributaries. With the banning of plastic, we need to cut more trees for our paper bags. We don't need to resort to plastic banning if only our government has the political will to impose strictly the garbage segregation. Now we address some of the problems by creating another problem.

i have some friends in bulacan and i often hear them complaining about the floods there. well, this is a first step to solve that problem. i just wish that the government would really implement that law without hesitation.

go for it bulakenos! that ordinance is also working here in quezon city. it is very earth-friendly and makes less waste! i hope the entire country would soon cooperate with this ordinance for a cleaner and greener Philippines :)

it was a good news to here since I'm from Bulacan :)
