No Plastic Bags in Kenya — Epoche A1
Before You Come: questions for a Nairobi guide Joseph takes visitors to the parks. He is 41 and lives in Nairobi. What do visitors bring that they cannot bring? Plastic bags — the ones with handles. Since 2017 they are against the law in Kenya. Nobody sells them, nobody makes them, nobody carries them. Leave yours at home. Then how do I carry my shopping? The shop gives you paper. At the market people take a basket. And in the parks? No plastic bottles either. Bring a metal bottle and fill it at the lodge. Straws and plastic plates stay outside the gate too.
