There is no embassy here and I can't get an answer from anyone. My wife and I are taking a holiday there in October. Thanks for all the great information!!

]]> Comment on A Plastic Bag, by Any Other Name… by Gayle Pescud http://www.g-lish.org/g-lish/recycled-products-ghana-baskets//comment-page-1#comment-1135 Gayle Pescud Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:38:46 +0000 http://www.g-lish.org/?p=1036#comment-1135 Hi Kym, Thanks so much for your comment. We truly hope the government here takes action to ban them too. Once you start working with plastic bags you really begin to see how bad the problem is. It's all you can see sometimes! But we read a quote from a politician here who said that selling pure water gives employment to an estimated 40,000 people and the economic implications of stopping pure water production were too great. Not good for Ghana's environment. We feel that at least we can use as many of them as possible in the mean time. 9000 and counting this month. It's reassuring to know that some African governments do take it seriously. Thank you, Gayle. Hi Kym,

We had a trip to Uganda and Rwanda earlier this year and Rwanda has also banned plastic bags ... in fact Rwanda is the cleanest African country I've visited ... there was no rubbish anywhere and they take the plastic bag ban very seriously including searching bags upon arrival at the airport and land borders.Cheers, Kym Hi Gayle,
