Anti-plastic campaigners in Vanuatu set sights on new targets

05:04 am on 10 July 2018

Vanuatu's ground breaking ban on single-use plastics began this month and environmental campaigners, including the government, are setting their sights on new targets.

So far the ban includes single-use plastic shopping bags, polystyrene takeaway boxes and plastic straws.

It followed a groundswell of public support for the NoPlastikBagPlis campaign which started last year.

Dominic Godfrey's been speaking with some of those involved.
