Kenya has implemented a new law banning plastic bags in the country! If you’re caught using a plastic bag in Kenya, you could spend up to 4 years in prison or face a fine of $40,000! Many countries have already banned plastic bags, and banning these bags in Kenya alone will reduce their use by 24 million bags a month!
Could you live without using plastic bags or does this ban seem ridiculous? Let us know!
