“We should be embarrassed. It’s a disgrace,” said Clean Up Australia managing director Terrie-Ann Johnson.
That third-world countries moved to ban plastic bags before Australia is a reflection on our society, she said.
“We are so spoilt here in Australia, because we live in this land of high convenience. We baby boomers have really created this spoilt society, where everything is single use.”
“We expect someone to look after our disposal because we are a wealthy nation. They are not wealthy nations, they can’t afford waste management. Yet they engaged the community in the process, where nobody lost anything but everybody gained something.”
She said the battle for a ban was one that had required patience.
“Let’s just say I’ve been working on this since 2003. I’m well and truly over it. We just feel this is such low hanging fruit for the government, we don’t see why we can’t just enact an eastern seaboard solution now.”
Yes once again Australia shows how far behind it is all the while claiming they use Worlds Best Practices.
