PLASTIC BAN

CONSUMERS' TESTIMONIALS
ON THE PLASTIC BAN ORDINANCE
The group interviewed plastic consumers from different age groups.
They were then individually asked about their observations and experiences on plastic consumption, as well as for their
thoughts and opinions regarding the Plastic Ban ordinance.
Most of the consumers shared the same observations and experiences regarding the plastic ban they had all mentioned the convenience of using plastic bags, especially when buying in bulk. Although, most of them were still in favor of paper bags rather than plastic bags; they would be willing to sacrifice the convenience that the plastic bags provide and use paper instead, for the sake of the environment.
Based on three more interviews that were done, most of the consumers admitted that plastic bags are more appropriate and comfortable to use. Plastic bags allow the consumers to carry materials that are in liquid form and are heavy, without making them worry that they might spill or break what is inside. However, most of them agreed that they should look after their environment; since they know for a fact that plastic bags are one of the reasons of pollution. For that reason, they are also willing to sacrifice and participate in the banning of the plastic bags in the Philippines.
