The outcomes of the campaign regarding “Say no to plastics” in different places such as outside the parliament and at local schools and the television advertisement to phase the usage of plastic bags had huge influence on the general individuals and all over the world as well.

There have been different positive outcomes on the entire mass in Australia that are discussed as follows:

The retailers and super marketing in different areas started using bags in their shops and provided their customers with such bags as this helped them in reducing the expenditure that they used to incur previously while using the polythene bags (Hörisch, Freeman and Schaltegger 2014). The reduction in usage of such bags also helped in reduction in pollution in the environment and this created a huge positive influence on the general individuals (Hesselbarth and Schaltegger 2014).

The campaign had positive impact on the environment along with the individuals in the entire world. The campaign helped in reducing the detrimental effects of the plastic bags from the environment and it helped in changing the opinions of the public as well in reducing or stopping the entire usage of plastic bags in day to day life and for their different activities as well.

However, the campaign has positive impacts on the management along with the individuals, there are different negative impacts on different individuals of the society as well as there are individuals who are working with the production of polythene bags and they can incur great losses in their business. The employees working in the factories will be facing unemployment as well that has been discussed as follows

There has been negative outcomes in the campaign that has been conducted in Australia as the individuals who are in the field of manufacturing plastic or polythene bags are incurring losses as the demand for the polythene bags has lessened to a great extent. However, the usage of plastic bags is an excellent campaign in order to provide the individuals a pollution free environment, but the individuals manufacturing plastic bags are in great loss (Seuring and Gold 2013).

The employees who are employed in the polythene making factory are facing negative impact from the campaign “say no to plastic bags” as they are becoming unemployed as the factory owners are facing tremendous losses and this is effecting the job security of the employees working there as well. The campaign that has been conducted in Australia has helped in creating pollution free environment but it is affecting thousands of lives of the employees as well (Schaltegger and Burritt 2014).

Conclusions

Therefore, it can be concluded that the campaign that has been conducted in Australia named “say no to plastic bags” has both positive and negative influence on the individuals as well as on the society. It can be inferred that the respective campaign has positive influence on the entire society; however, there are ill effects on the individuals who are employed in the production of polythene bags.

It is desirable that the usage of plastic bags has to be banned by the government of Australia as well as in all over the world as this will help in providing pollution free as well as safe environment to the individuals in the entire society. Lastly, it can be seen that the outcome of the campaign relating to “say no to plastic bags” helped in influencing the people in the society on the usage of such polythene bags and it helped in creating awareness among the public in the society with proper advertisements on television and other campaign activities as well.
