I was looking at how we are polluting the environment nowadays. Garbage all over. Then I came to realize almost 90 percent of the solid waste collected in my estate are the Polythene bags.
I think it is high time we should go green. There must be a better alternative for these Polythene bags.
At the rate they are polluting the environment, It is a must we switch to a greener alternative.

Everybody knows about the evil effect of this. Still we are not doing anything. This is really sad. I am not using any polyethylene bags.

True, the world is turning a blind eye to the mess that polyethylene bags are causing to or environment. I hope that we get an alternative measure.

Jute bags are a better alternative because you can used them over and over again whenever going for shopping.

I reckon they also need to do
something about over packaging!
If they didn't use so much to package
stuff we wouldn't need so many carrier
bags to bring it home!!
I bought a cable for my phone yesterday
it came in a box bigger than my phone
arrived in! The box was surrounded by
clear plastic. inside there was another
piece of plastic holding the cable and
filling the inside space! It could have
been coiled up and fitted easily in
a matchbox sized flat envelope!
No wonder our world is full of trash!

There were sugar-based plastic bags years ago, but I haven't seen any practical application of them since. I think they dissolved a little too quickly to be useful.
First we need a solution that is practical and works, before simply banning something.
