Consumer Council will expand its 'No Plastic Bag Day' to 18th and 28th of each month starting this April. 18th will be the first 'No Plastic Bag Day' of this month, consumers and shop owners are called on to support and bring their own shopping bags. 'No Plastic Bag Day' was established in 2008 to arouse public's attention to reduce the use of plastic bag. A survey on the evaluation of 'No Plastic Bag Day' was conducted last year and the result showed that 'No Plastic Bag Day' helped to reduce the number of plastic bag used. Starting this month, the Council will add one more day to the 'No Plastic Bag Day' campaign. On 18th and 28th each month, consumers, 'Certified Shops' and 'Adherents' well as other retailers are called on to support and participate in the campaign for the protection of our environment.
