Ban plastic carry bags. Regulate the use of plastic in packing and manufacturing.
The Issue
Stem the rot at the root. Most of the plastic produced and used is disposable and is released in to the environment after single use. This is most often not easy to recycle.
Mounting hills of garbage in every city, town and village in India is a common sight now.
Ground water levels are falling, as plastic in the soil doesn't allow absorption of rain water.
Our water bodies( lakes, rivers and seas) are contaminated. Our soil is contaminated.
Clogging of sewage lines, thus leading to flooding.
Dumping sites near villages turning them non - livable.
Increased in number of life threatning diseases like cancer and respiratory problems caused by burning plastic ( done everywhere).
Animals in cities and wild are dying because of eating plastic.
All these increase the health care burden on poor, children and the emerging work force of our country and every citizen of this country.
