Dream Youth Active More for Less Nylon

The use of disposable plastic bags has become common. Those nylon bags have detrimental effects both on the environment and human health. If their use continues at this pace, the environment will deteriorate to a greater extent. Promoting nature-friendly bags (100% renewable), i.e. ziploc bags, paper bags, and cloth bags is going to be beneficial for nature and people. It has been more than a decade since Italy, as the first European country, introduced a nationwide ban on plastic bags. Dream Youth Active decided to prepare and implement an international project aimed at raising awareness of the use of nature-friendly bags.
