Issue : 98 24 August, 2019 By Pre-primary Students Stern action is the need of the hour It is high time we all understand our role towards our Planet Earth. Asking retailers to start charging for the plastic bags from the customers will be a good step as it would encourage the buy- ers to carry bags from home.Plastic bags, which came in use more than decade back, almost revolutionized the concept of carrying baskets and packaging. It provided a cheaper alternative to paper or cloth bags. It also was superior hygienically due to use and throw possibility. However, the menace that was unfolding could be real- ized only recently after it has played havoc with the environment especially in the megapolises. One can see huge dumps of gar- bage littered with plastic bags thrown any and everywhere by the users without the minutest concern for the environment. Segre- gation of these non-biodegradable wastes is next to impossible By Ashok Dhamija and gay abandonment Lord Krishna who was making it difficult to recycle which otherwise also, generates toxic Tiny tots dressed as on Friday 23 Aug, born at the stroke of fumes.

To carry bags from home Mumbai Mewa Mahautsav is considered old fashioned. It is already late and quite a lot of damage has been done to the nature. Now it is time to put the acts together to prevent further onslaught on nature. The bans, rules and regulations can bear re- sults only if they are supported by the citizens. It is time to say no to the plastic bags and patronize the cloth or the jute bags, bas- kets or the paper bags. A small step taken now shall result in a giant step in the path of preserving the environment.
