Red Sea Governorate is Plastic Bags free H.E Major General / Magdi Qubaisi Governor of the Red Sea issued a decree that the Red Sea will be the first plastic bag free governorate in Egypt effective 1st January 2009. This decree represents a considerable step forward in tackling the many issues caused by excess rubbish and in particular plastic bags in the Red Sea Riviera environment. Plastic bags pose a massive hazard to birds, turtles, dolphins and other marine creatures that are killed in alarming numbers every year after swallowing or becoming entangled in plastic bags blown out to sea. Turtles easily mistake plastic bags for as a jellyfish. Once in the stomach, the indigestible plastic wraps itself around the intestines of the creature and it slowly starves to death. This year, has seen an increase in the number of dead turtles washed up on the shores of the Red Sea. Plastic bags and other rubbish are undoubtedly to blame in many cases. On average, plastic bags are used for only 20 minutes before being thrown out; but take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade. During this long period of time, millions of bags litter and pollute streets, the desert and are blown out to sea where they become a toxic threat to the existence of marine and wild life. The Red Sea campaign follows many high profile campaigns in Europe to limit this most damaging form of pollution. HEPCA will be working alongside the Governorate to suggest practical solutions and alternatives for plastic bags. |
