I was in Ooty a couple of weeks back and I was surprised to see sign boards all over the place saying "NO TO PLASTIC BAGS". It was quite pleasing to see that all the people in this town are quite conscious about using plastic bags which has made quite a difference to the whole place.
Though many of us know that plastic bags are an environmental hazard, non biodegradable, how many of us actually refrain from using them? I was thinking about this a while back and decided not to accept plastic bags from shops anymore. Also, I strongly feel that supermarket chains like FoodWorld, Monday2Sunday,etc should encourage usage of paper bags as against plastic bags. If big chains like these discourage plastic usage, it will create more awareness amongst us and make us conscious about our actions.
Let us try and do a bit to save our environment - SAY NO TO PLASTIC!
