A few months back, there was a law passed for banning plastic bags. I don't know what happened to that, but the municipal corporation fined so many people for giving away plastic bags of certain microns... and then one day, while I was waiting at a signal in my car, I was shocked to see so many plastic flags of some political party hanging on a rope passing through the lamp poles through out the road. There muse be hundreds of such flags on that road and maybe thousands to fill up the whole city. And then after a few days, I see some people removing them and throwing them in the river. I wanted to photograph it and send it to the press, but wasn't having my camera with me.
All big talks on saving the earth. The government should first start educating their own departments and then put rules for the common man.
Whatever it is. I stopped using plastic bags. I carry my own cloth bag and keep one in the car too in case of emergency. Whenever a shopkeeper puts the items in a plastic bag, I return the bag to him and use my own. I also spread the awareness. That's how I plan to save the earth. What about you?
