ENVIRONMENT

I am finding it happily that at last nations and people are becoming more and more conscious about environment. Till now the use of plastic bags was unrestricted in India. Since last few days however the local govt are pressing the hawkers , dept stores and even retailers to prohibit the use of plastic bags as carry bags. Although the consumers are finding it for some times very difficult because cotton bags which had become a past , are still not appearing at affordable prices. On the other hands paper bags are very convenient for use as a carry bags, simply because they cannot carry the weight of more than say 1 or 2 kgs.
But the changes do occur although slowly. I welcome the change . The discarded plastic bags were such a nuisance on the roads. They were always creating the picture of a dirty street. The biggest objection of the environmentalists against the plastic bags have been that they cannot be recycled. And it is very much true, the plastic can be destroyed only by burning , the weather does no harm to them .
