Without plastic bags
Since June 1, Tanzania officially forbids the using of plastic bags . The Ordinance is in force on June 1, 2019, and a fine of up to $ 400,000 is made by bag makers or two years in prison. For people who use bags – smooth is about 13 dollars (which is made for part of the local people is a serious amount).
With this act, Tanzania places pages like Rwanda and Kenya out of a total of 12 African countries that have so far tackled a highly polluting product.
Our volunteers there: Monica and Maria initiated a campaign to clean Chamwino on June 1. Photos from the action:
