Rwanda against plastic bags |
|
|
|
|
 Rwanda with a vision to maintain a clean, healthy and wealthy environment has by law banned the use of non biodegradable plastic bags.
The strong political will coupled with community participation in environmental management has put Rwanda on a steady path to sustainable development.
Visitors to our “land of a thousand hills” ought to carry and package in environmentally friendly material bags preferably made of cotton materials.
This good habit can extend even globally as one goes back home.The environment bears no boundaries!
The future is in our hands, if we are to make a difference, let it be now!
