Plastic bag ban

In 2018 a youth delegation from the Bahamas Plastic Movement traveled to Nassau, Bahamas to meet with Romauld Ferreira, Minister of the Environment and Housing, to ban plastic bags in the Bahamas.[4] The Bahamas Plastic Movement claimed that if plastic pollution on beaches increased that $8.5 million in tourism would be lost.[5] Fereira and his cabinet have since approved plans to phase out plastic bags by 2020.[5][6]
