Hi we are Hope and Paige from Bay of Plenty. As a school science project at Mount Maunganui College we were asked to change something in our community by helping our environment as part of biology. We became more involved with our study and wanted to change something permanently by banning plastic bags in the Bay of Plenty Region. What would happen is that the local super markets would then have to give away FREE reusable bags instead of plastic ones. This will be awesome for our environment and we hope u feel the same way. Join our petition and our world will become a better place for all of us :)

That would be an exceptional result! It's time we started putting the responsibility on the businesses who actually profit from providing non- recyclable options. The government should have been all over this a long time ago! Good work girls!
Yeah, I don't think it matters how old you are
I am 13 can I still sign this
Bring back the paper bag!
Great Job! :)
Great initiative
Bring it on

Too many bags in the ocean down here. Sick of seeing them in the dunes at the mount. Good on you two for starting this.
