Fukuoka City will begin selling dual-use garbage bags at 930 stores starting November 29. These bags, designed for both shopping and waste disposal, cost ¥10–¥15 depending on size, aligning with current waste bag prices. Adorned with environmental-themed artwork, they aim to reduce the city’s annual incineration of 2,600 tons of plastic bags by cutting CO2 emissions by 200 tons. Mayor Takashima urged residents to embrace small behavioral changes for environmental impact. Source: Fukuoka City / NHK
