Four major shops in the Twillingate area threw away plastic bags, driven by the local DFO detachment.
Shoppers at grocery stores in the area will only have access to cloth or paper options from this month as the store accepts the challenge from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to request the purchase of plastic productsfree.
Despite changes made earlier in some stores, the challenge officially began on Friday.
When you have a plan \"today is the first day, so far it\'s good\", it\'s not as hard as it sounds to give up the wave of plastic, says Colin strokles, friday of the owner Stuckless Freshmart Darrell.
\"If we can do a little bit of what we do, and others do a little bit, maybe a lot more.
\"Freshmart\'s customers get free reusable cloth bags that DFO offers to the store at checkout.

The package Project said the detachment bought 6,000 packages and distributed them to the community.
\"I mean, it\'s part of the DFO conservation marine species mission, so why not if we can prevent plastic bags from getting there?

Stuckless did not hear it if the customer complained.
\"In fact, the response is very good,\" he said . \"
\"We posted a page on Facebook to let people know what\'s going on and it\'s a very good response and people seem to be in favor of that, because we\'re listening to plastic all over the world right now.

All you have to do is go to the beach in summer.
\"Plastic bags will not dissolve.
They left without breaking up.
They broke up, they broke up, they became Micro
Plastic . . . . . . All of this eventually enters the food chain and is consumed by all different types of marine life, \"she said.

\"We \'ve been involved in beach cleaning over the years, with plastic products everywhere on the beach.
There are plastic bags in the environment. on the trees, there are plastic bags everywhere.
\"This project is not a ban on plastic bags in the community.
Instead, this is an option.
Last fall, DFO challenged grocery stores in the area.
\"To this extent, this is the first time we have done something like this, so we chose to go to the local area to see how it would be,\" Hillier said . \".
Don\'t forget that on Friday morning, the people you shopped at Freshmarton in Durell said they supported the project --
Even if not all people remember to bring the bag they have already picked up.
\"Once we forget, but we will not forget from now on,\" said David Bert . \".
He said his nephew, Sean Bass
He dives in waters near Twillingate and cleans up the garbage in the ocean
Tell him all the rubbish he found underwater.
That\'s part of why he supported the ban.
He also believes that the possibility of finding a landfill in his new bag is much smaller than the plastic he used in the past.
\"They blew out of people\'s pickup trucks and they were everywhere,\" he said . \".
Something like [the new bags]
You will be more careful not to blow it away.
Hillier says she expects plastic on the coast to decrease when it comes next summer.
In fact, it is important for her to plan how to evaluate the project.
\"Success is when these grocery stores don\'t release plastic bags anymore, people bring their own.
\"Useful bags,\" she said . \".
\"When we see a reduction in plastic cleaning on the beach, we succeed.
