Most people know about the environmental impact of using plastic bags but fewer than half do anything about it, according to a survey.
Eighty-five per cent of the UAE residents surveyed said they had heard or read about the damage that plastic bags can cause, and 93 per cent said they would support efforts to reduce their use.
However, when asked whether they do anything to reduce their impact, 52 per cent said they did not use any eco-friendly alternatives.
