The Consumers' Association of Penang (CAP) is calling on the Malaysian government to take a significant step towards reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability by banning the use of plastic bottled water in all government facilities. Citing growing concerns over the health impacts of plastic pollution and the environmental damage caused by single-use plastics, CAP president is urging the government to make a change. With the country struggling to manage its plastic waste and the world grappling with the challenges of climate change, this move could be an important step towards a more eco-friendly future. By ditching plastic bottled water, the government can help reduce plastic pollution, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote a healthier environment for all Malaysians. This initiative can also help raise awareness about the importance of sustainable living and the need to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics. As the world shifts towards more sustainable practices, it's time for Malaysia to take action and make a positive impact on the environment.
