Cagayan de Oro City is a beautiful city supposedly. It is the lack of concern, of education, of effort that makes our city a bit ugly. Ugly because it is dirty.

Of course, the central parts like Divisoria and the urban barangays are generally clean. There are street sweepers who clean up our wastes. You see them from dawn to early mornings cleaning up the mess and the garbage so that when we wake up in the morning the streets are clean.

Plastic bags from stores and markets make up most of the mess. These are waste material that are not only common but are also hard to decompose. Plastic in whatever form from store packaging to broken furniture and toys, damaged gadgets and appliances, packaging materials and just every other object known to man, go to the garbage dumpsite and create a big unbreakable heap that pollute the soil and the water base.

Thus, there is now an urgent need for the City Council to ban the use of plastic bags in stores, supermarkets, malls and fish and vegetable markets. A total and complete ban. Its just a matter of realization that, in this bloody world, there are avoidable evils. Plastics are one.
