During the weekend I went to Sylvia Park and almost immediately, I noticed that most stores stopped selling plastics bags. I had thought it was only supermarkets so once I got back home I searched up the cause of this.
I read from here that stores are now banned from selling plastic bags. Any store caught could potentially be faced with a fine, or the ministry will contact the business and try to figure out why they haven't stopped giving out plastic bags.
It's wonderful that there's now a law against plastic bags. Around 28% plastic waste have been discarded, leaving 72% to end up in the ocean or stray somewhere in our environment. Even if it's only a little bit, we're reducing plastic waste.

New Term - Fresh Start! -By Liza
Term three has officially started after a two week holiday. New activities are coming up during the term that we have to work hard for so we can do them. Students will have the chance to enter the netball interschools team and be involved with the skip off.
I am going to try work hard as I have one more term left after this before I go to college..
