Urging the public to reduce the use of plastic and jointly protect the environment, he said that plastic pollution poses a huge potential threat to the ecosystem and human health.

“Miri City must strengthen greening work to reduce damage to the global environment. I hope everyone can do their part and contribute to environmental protection,” he said.
