Where are we heading with plastics?

Hi guys and gals out there!

This is my first post. World Environment day went by again. Some celebrated by planting trees, others organised functions and made speeches. Most of the two legged inhabitants of this planet not bothered. This is a small attempt to play my small part in the process.

As they always say 'prevention is better than cure', we should help and reduce the impact of plastic usage.

A recent visit to my hometown made me take note of the menace of plastic all around. Travelling on the train on the Konkan route is a delight, the view on this stretch is marvelous. But alas, all over the rail line and around huge quantity of discarded plastic items are thrown by the passengers. I am sure this is happening all over India. It is high time we as passengers and The Indian Railways as service providers take some actions to prevent this menace of plastics and other things. For a change railways must provide bigger scrap collectors on coaches with arrangements to empty and dispose of them at major stopping stations. Will somebody in the Railways take note of this.

Each one of us can contribute to lower the use of plastics all across. Just think for a moment before you buy/accept items made of plastic. If you have an option available do not buy/accept plastic. I will try to give you helpful hints on this subject in future posts.

Please come back and read this blog, spread the word; help me, help yourself

Say, We Are Against Plastics!
