Many hill stations (Like Shimla and Manali) have banned plastic bags. And that is good. Otherwise the amount of plastic that we can throw around is just amazing. But then if we will not throw plastic bags then we will throw chips foils and plastic bottles! I persoanlly carry any rubbish that I canot dispose properly till I find a dustbin or till I am back to the hotel room. And I have seen many others do so too. But for every one person who does not litter, I have seen ten who would throw the chips foils anywhere. Yeah, I can see this is turning into a rant now. And of all things, when trekking, I have seen many small villages completely strewen with plastic, it is not jut the citywalahs.
I recall that poly-bags were banned in Ooty as well. I hope that other cities and towns will soon follow.:)
So do I Sidhu.
I visited Mussoorie recently-Plastics are not banned there…the situation is same as Coorg…
Were you on a vacation in the North India or what?
Hi MridulaBumped into your other blog when I googled on ‘charkha’. When I saw a well-heeled teenager throw a used soft dring bottle into the waters while waiting in line at the Gulmarg cable car venue, I almost blew my top….
I can well empathize Swarna! And thanks for stopping by.
