Phase 2: Implementation and Enforcement

This is the most critical aspect of the campaign. Implementing the Ban with the support from local communities is necessary to make the campaign successful and sustainable.

  • Set up a date for the ban to be implemented
  • Promote alternatives to plastic bags and plastic bottles such as water filters, purifying pills and local women associations to produce cotton, paper or hem bags.
  • Enforce the Ban at Park entrances and exits, and in all trekking areas.(local airports, check points, lodges and hotels, with a recognizable label/sticker
  • Bring the campaign to local schools youth groups, women associations, and local groups bodies.
  • Impose fines on shopkeepers that continue selling plastic mineral water bottles and distributing plastic bags once the ban is enforced. Find a local strategy to collection of fines and re-investment in environmental causes.
  • Lobby the Ministry of Industry to stop new licensing to mineral water bottlers in national parks and trekking areas through other concerned ministries.
