WEST PRODUCT VS HUMAN HEALTH IN TANZANIA

 

By Eufrasia Mathias

It is at least six years since Tanzania held the campaign against use of plastic bags demanding that the  use of plastic bags destruct the environment due to their hardness hence they prevent the penetration of water in the soil and cause soil destruction

During the campaign the environmental look changed because there was no scattered plastic bags around the environment and every person tried to be part of the campaign by burning any misplaced plastic bag

It seems that it is not culture and behavior of some Tanzanians to be clean; they do cleanliness only when they are told to do so by either the government, private or public association. Cleanliness is health in the sense that the clean area has no outbreak of diseases

The campaign against the use of plastic bags died just after the government was quiet about it, because it is not the culture of Tanzanians to do cleanliness the plastic bags are turned to be flowers of decorating the streets

Responsible people, please remind people to do cleanliness?
