Plastic Free India

Polythene is a gift of science that serves us in our day to day life. But now a day excessive use of polythene or
polybags has become a real threat to our environment. Due to it’s non-porous and non-biodegradable nature
polybags harm us a lot in many ways. Polybags also contain toxic chemicals. Thus, they choke the soil and suffocate
the roots of plants. During the rainy season, it may block the drains and that cause artificial flood. Thus the time has
arrived to Say no to Polybags.

Now, since we have grown quite accustomed to using plastic products and these are light on our pocket, we
cannot avoid their usage completely. However, we can certainly avoid using those plastic products that can
easily be replaced with eco-friendly alternatives. For instance, instead of using plastic bags, we can easily opt
for a jute, cloth or paper bag when we head for shopping. Likewise, instead of using disposable plastic cutlery
and utensils during parties we can use those made of steel, paper, thermocol or any other material which is
reusable or easy to dispose.
