In an effort to save the environment, Penang has already launched it's campaign as Mondays to be a " No Plastic Day ". My Sis in law who's based in Penang has told has that most people are already quite aware of this and they bring their own bags for shopping every Monday. For those who are unprepared, they are charged 20 cents for each bag.
Reading from the Star newspaper, I've found out that now there are already over 300 hypermarkets, mini markets, departments stores and shops that are participating in this campaign. So, next time you shop in Penang on a Monday, don't be surprised that after your bought items go through the barcode scanners, the cashier won't give you free plastic bags. :)
