The campaign aims to make durable cloth bags easily accessible and affordable so that people do not rely on disposable plastic bags. By installing vending machines at public places, it reduces convenience barriers and normalises carrying reusable bags. This supports state and national efforts to curb single-use plastics and fosters a culture of reuse and waste prevention.

Option A:
This option correctly reflects the core objective of the initiative, which is to change everyday consumer behaviour away from plastic carry bags.

Option B:
This option is incorrect; the programme is explicitly against unnecessary plastic purchases.

Option C:
The campaign does not oppose waste segregation; reducing single-use plastics complements better waste management.

Option D:
While tourists may also use the bags, the initiative is primarily about habitual local shopping behaviour, not souvenirs.
