Kenya Goes BYOB

After several failed attempts, Kenya has ruled to outlaw the production, sale and import of plastic bags. The ban, which recently went into effect, carries with it a steep penalty: a possible 4-year jail term for violators. Kenya is but the latest adopter in a global trend to implement bag charges, taxes and bans to reduce consumption. This is part of a larger initiative to safeguard the environment and protect aquatic life while restoring the marine ecosystem.

減塑救地球 肯亞祭出最嚴限塑令

經過幾次失敗的嘗試，肯亞裁定禁止製造、販售和進口塑膠袋。這項最近才生效的禁令伴隨相當大的懲罰代價：違規者可能得吃上四年的牢飯。肯亞是這波全球趨勢的最新響應者，執行垃圾費隨袋徵收、課稅和禁令以減少耗費。這是為維護環境，保護水中生物，同時恢復海洋生態系統這個更大的倡議貢獻一份心力。
