Prohibited Tarpaulins

If this is true then this is a very good move and may set an example for other provinces and cities to follow. I don't want to sound pessimistic but, with the mentality and attitude of our local (and also national) officials who are also running for positions would you think they would adopt or implement something that would be a hindrance to their ambitions?

In the name of the environment, well that may be good but since it will be implemented on certain provinces and municipality it may still be practiced somewhere else. I think what will happen will be that it will increase the use of papers which is neither good nor bad at all since these would mean increase for demand for wood to create paper which means logging could trigger thing up because of the demand.

another reason why we should really implement the anti-epal bill all around the country with stricter sanctions. Tarpaulins make good temporary shelters especially for our natural calamity stricken countrymen, just don't forget to remove those faces in them

Yes I've also seen this news. I'm glad that the LGU has this move so that other LGUs will follow the good example. As a servant leaders they must be the one to show good example.

Well, if tarpaulins will be banned, these politicians will surely find ways to equal such means of promoting their campaign for the post they aim. There are numerous replacements for tarpaulins so our only consolation is the thought that production of this plastic product will lessen.

Nice idea but I am not against the use of plastic, I want disciplined to be fully implemented many people are ignorant of their responsibilities. Prohibiting tarpaulin's if it will be used for premature election campaign is good but for reason that the used of plastic is prohibited and to help save environment is not good it is a plastic moved by itself. Every household today all throughout the world are using plastic at home. The only different is how it was used. The main problem is proper disposal of waste materials whatever they are and together punishment for those who violated. People always embrace the easiest way instead of doing what is right as A HUMAN. Look for any environmentalist and ask them if ever they have ever planted a tree on their own freewill.

That's politics for you. I suggest we don't vote for those candidates who are guilty of premature campaign. But then again, there wouldn't be anyone left to vote for since almost all of the candidates are guilty of this. Sigh, what some people would do in the name of power and money. I'd bet they would even sell their souls in exchange for these earthly treasures.

I saw that town prohibiting tarpaulins in the news. I think that is a good move. Even if premature campaigning is prohibited, the politicians will always make a way of going around the law. Good move by the environmentalists. Tarpaulins are harmful to the environment. Have a nice day!

Well, you know how our politicians are. Even if they are fully aware of the do's and dont's , still their campaign advisers and managers can affect their decision. And not unless that those posters or tarpaulin are torn down will it be stopped.
