Public sensitisation, awareness against plastic bags stressed
Islamabad
February 13, 2021
Islamabad : The role of social responsibility and better public sensitisation and awareness is vital to the elimination of the use of polythene bags, an environmental nuisance, say officials and environmental experts.
They, however, insist that unless people show responsibility towards environmental protection through various means, no effort for tackling environmental degradation will succeed.
Addressing a public awareness rally attended by students and academia at the International Islamic University here on Friday, joint secretary of the climate change ministry Syed Mujtaba Hussain said the widespread use of polythene bags had deepened the country’s burden of environmental degradation, which had worsened the state of public health.
