here's the plastic..there's a plastic...ban that crap

Plastic has become a demon already threatening the very existence of nature. Plastic is a remarkable material thats cost effective, light, easy to mould..... but its non bio degradable nature makes it a mess....recycling doesnt help the environment either. I am not saying 0% plastic, i am talking of mis-use of this remarkable material. There are places where you must use it and some places where you can avoid it. The classic example of misuse is plastic bags/sacks, once the function of carrying home the product is accomplished, we carelessly toss it on the streets..which moves to water sources, get burried into the soil and trigger the harm. Best way to eliminate this plastic bag is the source itself, each of the shops must stop giving complimentary plastic bags but make the customers shell out for the cloth or jute bags. Once you charge people for this, customers will start bringing their own bags to carry the products back home. As of now, no one cares as shops provide them plastic bags. Atleast going in for jute bags will kick in some employment opportunities for bag makers and jute producers. This was no new "extra" plastic goes into the ecosystem and whatever is already existing will go back as recycled...unless people take such drastic measures, world wont be a better healthier place. All those NGOs and environmentalists with "political flavor" must atleast take this into reality and start preaching instead of preaching against nano cars or some other things.
