No plastic bag and polystyrene in Penang

From 1st of January 2011 onwards, Penang(Malaysia) became the 1st state in Malaysia which ban plastic and polystyrene at hypermarket, supermarket and even the hawker stall.

Some of them might think whether this event is bringing benefit or problem? A consumer, said it was troublesome to buy the 20-sen plastic bags and would be a problem to last-minute shoppers and foreign tourists who do not come prepared with their own canvass or cloth bags when heading to hypermarkets in Penang.

From my own side, i think it actually brings benefit to our mother earth.As we know, there are a lot of changes in weather of our earth such as flooding, earthquakes,global warming. All of this actually came from human being,people wasted the plastics and used polystyrene which will seriously affect the environment.

So, as a conclusion i definitely support this events although it's brings some trouble for us but it wasn't a big problem.A small action might change and save the environment, why don't we think the solution to save the earth rather than complaint it?
