Bangadu Man ~ Please say "NO to Plastic Bags"!




  • Plastic degradation at sea takes between 45-1000 years

  • Plastic don't bio-degrade, they photo-degrade; means they turn into smaller particles of plastic ultimately turning to Plastic Dust.

  • Plastics bags have been found in the stomachs of endangered animals.

  • About 100,000 animals such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to plastic bags

  • Moreover, it takes about 430,000 gallons of oil to produce 100 million nondegradable plastic bags. We use 4-5 trillion plastic bags worldwide annually

  • It takes 250 bags to make 1 kilo of plastic - making recycling economically unviable



It just takes two letters "N" & "O"!
Be the one to make a difference and to contribute.
