A great move.
what bout milk packet pouches..that are made of plastics too..empty soda plastic bottles..chips packets..8 out of edible products in market are wrapped in plastics..the lifestyle gets so much dependent on plastics that we just don’t see plastics wiped out from this world completely..
Cabinet approved ban on plastics after meetings ..with sipping Bisleri’s & Aquafina..served in plastic bottles..served to attendants..and later orgaisners threw them in some nalla..or dustbin..you never tell me where to send hundreds of pictures that i click almost on every tour to famous tourist destinations in Himachal..will let you know in great details how much sensitive are people and how the law enforced keeps silent on this continued mockery..
These cosmetic news don’t have any impacts..i can show the blunders with pictures of plastics scattered almost in every town of Himachal..
I have even the recent pictures of Naggar Castle “The Famous Heritage Hotel Run By Tourism Department” where a dirty garbage dustbin filled with all sorts of plastics in the base of building keeps laughing at all these so called cleaning up drives !
A good move but a more sustainable solution is to teach children in schools and all of us that throwing trash indiscriminately is unacceptable, mostly because it destroys our environment, spoils it for our own selves and our children.
