Campaigns are everywhere these days about Environmental pollution and global warming from environmentalists and do-gooders.. But what is the use if Corporates are not willing to take up the responsibility..
If not doing some good , they can atleast stay away from harming...
Ban of plastic materials is age-old thing... But go to any so-called newly started modern-retail store like reliance-fresh , food bazaar etc , you see bundle of plastic covers... For each item , you need to take a separate plastic bag...
Why cant they simply use their head and use a paper bag instead..
Or use containers , weigh the vegetables and transfer to a single bag ..
For all shoppers , I would request you to take paper bag or jute bag and avoid those poisonous plastic bags...Ofcourse they wont allow you to use your own bags...but in the billing counter , transfer all your items to your bag and leave the dump to them ..If possible , ask them to leave the plastic bags for others to use... If there is any other better suggestion , leave them as comments...
If each one of us can do something , we can atleast repair the damage caused by big -shot corporates... See here to find how people are contributing in their own ways..really inspiring...
I still remember the way I purchase vegetables from street vendor in my home-town without any use of plastic bags..how environment friendly we were ...
Will Greener World will still be a distant dream ??!!!
Can I make a difference in this world ?

Nice thoughts!!! But let me analyze a bit here.. Shops need a cost effective solution... so paper bags are pretty costly when compared to plastics!!!
Most Shoppers dont like the idea of shifting as its time consuming and time is money :-P is what they say!!!
So what exactly could be done to take things home !!! So we need to find wht are the items that needs a plastic ... so a better solution here can itself be a big industry in itself !!!
It would be good if we can have bags which needs to be bought for shopping and return them at the counter next time to get a new one!!! Just like a gas cylinder exchange without cost !!! Not a good one though :-(
