calendar_monthMarch 05, 2009
“Forcing customers to make a decision they don’t fully understand is not the best way to achieve behavioral change.” Justin King, CEO J Sainsbury’s A strong statement, and very true! In order for the ban to be a success we need to work together to provide as many alternative bags as possible. Residents and businesses can support the plastic bag ban by donating or asking customers to donate a spare bag to HEPCA. We will re-distribute the bags to the poorer families living in the town. Not only will this allow us to ensure there are enough bags for everyone, it will also grant us the opportunity to communicate the all-important reason for the ban. Educating the community is a vital component to making these changes. I’M AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO DONATE A BAG: Easy! If you live in Hurghada, pop it down to our offices in the Marriot Hotel.
