The biggest department store of Thailand will begin to give a
50% discount for the customers who bring the cloth bag to shopping in the store tomorrow.
Sujit Busarakum , the manager of Green Paradise Department
Store said that his store will give a 50% discount for his customers, if the
customers bring the cloth bag to shopping instead of the plastic bag. But if
the customers do not bring their bag, the store will charge 10 Baht for 1
plastic bag. This promotion has no end, and it can used all over 13 branches of
his store.
Sujit said that this promotion was happened according to the
global warming issue. This problem is getting worse every day. So, he thought about this promotion in order to help the
earth from this trouble.
“I don’t care if the policy buy 10 Baht for 1 plastic bag is
too greedy for some people. I just want to help the earth as much as I can. And
this way is the best way that I can think of. It makes profit to both human and
nature.” Said Sujit.
This promotion was supported by the Green World, the organization
about the environment in Thailand. Dr.Udom Somboon, the lead of the
organization said that “this is the good sign for a business sector about the
awareness of the environment. This department store is a good example of a
company which really care about the environment. Not just telling us that they
love the world, but do nothing to help the world to be better like other
companies.”
