Plastic banned… Really?

November 9, 2018

Sir,

An eco-friendly attitude was established amongst the residents of a few areas when they decided to ban the usage of plastic bags. Instead groceries were delivered in paper bags. I felt a sense of pride when we locals were really implementing the ban of plastic bag rule.

But I was disappointed when I notice the presence of plastic bags every now and then. Right from grocery store to fashion stores, everyone packs the purchased items in plastic bags.

I wonder where the plastic bag comes from if the country is planning for stoppage of its usage. Why can’t plastic manufacturing be completely shut down?  Are the citizens of India waiting for the order of ban to be announced from Central government? Despite all efforts people are continuing to use plastic bags for their convenience.

I really wish people take this matter seriously and stop usage of plastic bags. Every single person’s contribution would save our planet. Let’s say no to plastic bags and instead carry paper bags from home and deny the grocery store person’s plastic carry bag.
