Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48118, member: 636"] Election officials decided to stop politicians from using campaign posters during future races. Environmental groups cheered the new rule because they say poster campaigns hurt nature badly. Paper posters kill trees and plastic-covered ones block drains when it rains. The mess creates pollution problems across the country during voting season. Officials approved the new campaign rules on June 19th after reform experts recommended the change. Dr Abdul Alim from the reform team said posters cause four major headaches for society. The paper waste destroys forests and plastic versions poison the environment for years. Politicians spend tons of money without anyone keeping track of expenses. Fights break out when campaign workers argue about poster locations during elections. Researchers discovered that the last national election used 27,000 tons of plastic poster materials. Environmental groups studied printing shops in seven major cities to count the waste. Most civilized countries around the world banned election posters long ago because they create unnecessary problems. Social media and digital advertising give candidates better ways to reach voters without damaging nature. Scientists worry that plastic posters make city flooding worse because they clog up storm drains. Burning old campaign materials adds dangerous smoke to the air people breathe. Professor Ahmad Majumder said effective enforcement of the poster ban could create cleaner political campaigns. Environmental activists praised the decision but warned that billboard advertising might cause similar problems if officials do not watch companies carefully. [/QUOTE]
