SBMA sets ban to plastic , Fact or Fiction ?

by John Glenn Rimando and Jerome Timbang

As said to this particular news  http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/home/regions/23051-sbmasets-to-ban-plastic-styrofoam-in-subic  . ( Click link for Info ) As of February 9 , 2012 , SBMA plans to ban plastic , Styrofoam  as materials used for packing inside premises of SMBA .
As said by SBMA Chairman Roberto Garcia "From an overall environmental and economic perspectives the best thing SBMA can do is to require retail establishments to refrain from using plastic bags and Styrofoam, and shift to reusable nonplastic carry-out bags or biodegradable materials,”

This is a bothering news , As experienced , there is no change happening . Styrofoam are still all over SBMA , We taked photos of kalaklan river , beach side , and side walks . PLASTIC everywhere , No doubt that overflowing of river occurs .



Recently Taken photo of kalaklan river alongside SBMA gate , With heavy rain and strong winds , caused by the typhoon Jener , Plastics were stock at the other side of river .

Plastic may be useful , but it also destroys our environment . Be careful of using it , trash , mainly plastic causes blockage of drainage , causing floods . It causes pollution , in water , land even in air . It contributes a lot to the global warming we experiencing nowadays , burning plastics produce chemicals that helps deplete the ozone layer . They degrade very slow , it takes more than a hundred years to degradation . Instead of banning plastics , why don't recycle it for good use . ITS YOU TO DECIDE , IT IS A FACT ? or a FICTION ? Love your environment , BE PROUD OF IT !
