Last January, Thailand kicked off the year and a new decade with the ban on single-use plastic bags, initially adopted by department and convenience stores as well as some other retailers, who would no longer provide customers with the plastic bags in order to lessen the environmental impact.
The “Every Day Say No To Plastic Bags” campaign encouraged consumers to live without the most beautiful thing that fictional character Ricky Fitts filmed — referring to the discarded plastic bag dancing in the wind from a classic scene in American Beauty.
That movie was released in 1999 when plastic pollution wasn’t as much a serious issue as it is today.
