From 1 January, shops in the city will no longer be allowed to give customers free plastic bags. The decision was announced by the mayor on Monday as part of a plan to reduce waste.
1-yanvardan boshlab shahardagi do‘konlarga mijozlarga bepul plastik paket berish taqiqlanadi. Bu qaror dushanba kuni shahar hokimi tomonidan chiqindini kamaytirish rejasining bir qismi sifatida e’lon qilindi.
According to the city council, residents use about two million plastic bags every month, and most of them are used for less than half an hour. Many end up in rivers and parks, where they can harm animals.
Shahar kengashining ma’lumotiga ko‘ra, aholi har oy taxminan ikki million plastik paket ishlatadi va ularning aksariyati yarim soatdan kamroq vaqt ishlatiladi. Ularning ko‘pi daryo va bog‘larga tushib, hayvonlarga zarar yetkazishi mumkin.
Shops will be able to sell paper or cloth bags instead. Some shop owners are worried that customers will be annoyed. “People will forget their bags and blame us,” said one supermarket manager.
Do‘konlar o‘rniga qog‘oz yoki mato sumkalar sotishi mumkin bo‘ladi. Ba’zi do‘kon egalari mijozlar norozi bo‘lishidan xavotirda. “Odamlar sumkasini unutadi va bizni ayblaydi”, dedi supermarket rahbarlaridan biri.
However, a survey shows that 70 percent of residents support the ban. Similar rules in other countries have reduced plastic bag use by up to 90 percent.
Biroq so‘rovnoma aholining 70 foizi taqiqni qo‘llab-quvvatlashini ko‘rsatmoqda. Boshqa mamlakatlardagi shunga o‘xshash qoidalar plastik paket ishlatishni 90 foizgacha kamaytirgan.
The council will also give every household two free cloth bags in December, before the ban starts. Information campaigns will run on television, on buses and in schools. Shops that break the rules may have to pay a fine of up to five million sum.
Kengash shuningdek taqiq boshlanishidan oldin, dekabrda har bir xonadonga ikkitadan bepul mato sumka beradi. Televideniye, avtobuslar va maktablarda axborot kampaniyalari o‘tkaziladi. Qoidani buzgan do‘konlar besh million so‘mgacha jarima to‘lashi mumkin.
Environmental groups welcomed the decision but said it was only a first step. “Plastic bags are the most visible problem,” said a spokesperson for a local group, “but bottles and food packaging are much bigger sources of waste. We hope the city will deal with them next.”
Ekologik guruhlar qarorni olqishlashdi, lekin bu faqat birinchi qadam ekanini aytishdi. “Plastik paketlar eng ko‘zga tashlanadigan muammo”, dedi mahalliy guruh vakili, “lekin shishalar va oziq-ovqat qadoqlari chiqindining ancha katta manbalari. Umid qilamizki, shahar keyingi navbatda ular bilan shug‘ullanadi.”
