Say "No" to Plastics,"Yes" to handmade bags

Plastics and polythene bags are still seen to be used in many countries,despite  the devastation that it has been causing to the environment. Little does one see the adverse effect of health and hygiene, being convenient to carry and easily sealed,people just carry it along without giving a thought that it is not bio-degradable and that the blockages that we see in the drains systems and the litters around the environment are the result, thereby causing insanitary & unhygienic conditions. Who cares? Well, we all should for the reason that it has been  causing to humans and wildlife habitat. Plastic pollution has become a threat.

Well,the question is how can we stop using such plastics? It has become a threat to the environment, it is dangerous to animals on choking, it is dangerous to children its usage causes unhygenic conditions which affects the health and the environment.

SAY NO TO PLASTICS

Whereas some states have banned the use of such bags,others are yet to kick-start the drive. It is high time the people understand the adverse effects of such bags and opt out using for the much degradable stuffs like paper bags, cloth bags for carrying Stuffs. Steel, glass utensils and containers. Even wooden materials are an alternative.

These are cloth bags that can be used  during shopping and all other purposed and are a perfect replacement to the polythene bags of any kind.

This is a handmade paper bag that can be used in gift items. Paper bags are biodegradable.

Upcycle old clothes to Bags and hand bags.

While purchasing any items be it the groceries or toileteries or anything for that matter. These bags are biodegradable bags. Hence ask for such bags while purchasing and not any kind of plastic bag.

Always carry a cloth bag in ones or twos depending on the purchase of items of anykind be it groceries, fruits. 

Whenever I dont find a bag sufficient enough to carry or if the items exceeds the capacity of bag I instead ask for a cartoon packing. 

I am proud that people of our Country have become aware about the environment and are ready to do away with single use plastic. Now, when we talk of single use plastic let me briefly mention what they are.
Plastic bags, Forks, spoons, straws, glasses, plates, bottles.

Alternatives to single use plastics are  Glass, Steel,Wood, Bamboo,Ceramics, Pottery. Therefore, we should make it a point to replace the plastics with the above and make a healthy living within the house and around the environment.

Having said so much the fact still remains that unless and until we refuse to take the use and reuse of plastic will continue.
