Few new converts in Bring Your Own Bag Campaign

Not many people are being converted by the National Environment Agency's (NEA) campaign to get Singaporeans to bring their own bags when shopping. Despite a recent publicity blitz, Wednesday's [2 May 2007] Bring Your Own Bag Day received a lukewarm response from shoppers. This is the second time the event is being held, after its launch in April. The Bring Your Own Bag Day campaign is to encourage the conservation and the preservation of resources. However, it has not yet been able to convert some to a "greener" way of living, especially those among the older population.

A Channel NewsAsia straw poll similarly found there have not been many new converts to the programme. Most who brought their own bags did not credit the campaign with changing their style of shopping. However, the message did get through to some. The next Bring Your Own Bag Day will be held on 6 June.
