The government has taken a bold and necessary step by phasing out single-use plastic bags with a ban on the sale and distribution of such, a move aimed at fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. While some may grumble at the adjustment, it is imperative that we, as responsible citizens and residents, understand the long-term benefits and embrace the responsibility entrusted to us.

When a young person dies, society often pauses, if only briefly, to mourn the unfairness of it all. The loss of someone so young is particularly jarring because it reminds us of life’s fragile nature. But beyond the shock and sorrow, beyond the outpouring of grief on social media, do we ever truly learn? Or do we allow the cycle to continue, only to repeat the same conversations when the next tragedy strikes?
