I. Coast defiant on plastic bags ban; traders upset.

 Lifestyles are expected to change in Ivory Coast as of August, when an official ban on sachet-type plastic bags – widely used for water – comes into effect.

“Consumers litter the streets with the empty plastic bags after using their contents and sellers as well as manufacturers have no organized system of packing the waste,” Environment Minister Remi Allah-Kouadio told Anadolu Agency.
