The Environmental Protection Department in Taiwan announced a plan to reduce plastic usage in traditional markets by encouraging people to bring their own environmentally friendly bags. This initiative aims to reduce the use of shopping plastic bags by 20%, approximately 65 million bags. While some support the idea, others argue that using plastic bags for purchasing fresh food like fish and meat in traditional markets is more convenient. The plan follows previous regulations that restricted the free provision of plastic bags and aimed at reducing plastic bag usage, with ongoing efforts to improve the public's perception and behavior towards plastic reduction.
