Shoppers said ‘no’ to 237 million plastic bags at 7-11 in three months

More than 237 million plastic bags have been left unused at Thailand’s 7-eleven stores in the past three months – valued at more than 47 million baht.
But the media release from CP All, the local franchise owners of 7-eleven, doesn’t announce how many plastic bags were actually used during the same period.
The sole operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores in Thailand says that it’s they intention to eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags at all their stores throughout the country.

237,560,278 plastic bags have been rejected or unused between December 7 to March 7. The savings, some 47,512,056 baht, will now be donated to Siriraj Hospital.
Say ‘no’ (politely) to plastic bags when offered by convenience store staff, or take your own re-useable bag.
