Reduce the use of plastic and promote use of biodegradable packaging: eCommerce


Reduce the use of plastic and promote use of biodegradable packaging: eCommerce
The Issue
Goal
To mandate the use of biodegradable packaging for e-commerce and reduce the use of harmful plastics.
Overview
We all use plastics on a regular basis. With digital technologies supporting excessive and easy consumption of goods and services. Our plastic use has exponentially increased. Businesses that enable this behaviour should be conscious of the environmental impact and drive sustainability across vendors, restaurants , meat and vegetable shops , e-commerce giants and so many more are enabling this problem.
As human beings , we are designed to consume . When we consume more than we are entitled and faster than ever, things seem to go out of control. You will be alarmed by the amount of garbage one person can generate because of their habits and practices we follow and the businesses we support as consumers.
A single person can generate upto 2 Large bags of dry waste. Imagine the scale when each household in India ranges form 2-4 people on average.
We are already experiencing destructive change and as history suggests, India is never prepared and we are not conscious about our surroundings & environment. Therefore as one citizen to another , I humbly request you to ponder on this problem and request all business to use sustainable packaging and prevent further depletion of our home.

The scale of our country acts against us in this matter , I am sure none of us want live in a toxic environment or want our children to be affected with more diseases, deaths and illnesses than what it already is… Please do the right thing !
