Verynile Offers EGP 30,000 if You Suggest Ways to End Plastic Bags

Egypt is on a mission to save the enviroment this year. Egyptair launched their first eco-friendly flight to reduce their carbon footprint. Several supermarkets around the country have been replacing single-use plastic bags with totes and paper bags. Some freska sellers have even made the switch to using paper bags. From the government side, over 90 percent of the Red Sea Governorate is banning plastic use. Sahel and Nile River cleanups have also been planned.

Verynile, in collaboration with SCP/RAC and UN Environment, just announced a competition to prevent usage of single-use plastic bags and develop eco-friendly alternatives . All you need to do is suggest two ideas or projects on how to end plastic use.
