Reusable bags now in Bacolod City
Bacolod City -- An environmentally-friendly reusable bag called the "Envirosax" was launched in Manila last month, and is now available in Bacolod City.
The bags not only help the environment, but are also becoming an attractive fashion accessory around the world.
This was brought about by the growing war on plastic shopping bags.
Plastic bags are a menace. Billions are thrown away every year. They contributed to floods, block drains, pollute rivers, kill animals and provide perfect pools of warm water for mosquitoes and other insects to breed rapidly.
The Envirosax is being endorsed by the Negros Forests and Ecological Foundation Inc. (NFEFI), which fully supports the use of reusable shopping bags.
For each Envirosax sold in Western Visayas, P5 will be donated to NFEFI to help its Biodiversity Conservation Center at the Provincial Lagoon, Bacolod City. (PIA/cad)
