Without plastic garbage bags, the cleanliness of dustbins can't be maintained. The ban of plastic turned out to be quite beneficial for big businesses. After the ban of plastic, the big markets (supermarkets, hypermarkets and other retail markets such as pantaloons, Shopper's stop etc) started making more profit by charging at least Rs 5/- per plastic bag. These bags were being given free of cost earlier.

The total exercise is an effort in futility.This ban has happened several times. After a few months everything gets back to normal.

The plastic is a major environmental problem,therefor if the Government is serious to tackle that menace than it must strike at the roots rather than mere eyewash.

Imposing fines on traders and users is nothing but politics and passing the buck while some people make money.

What is required is that the Government should identify the plastic manufacturers in the state and rehabilitate them in some other trade like paper bags manufacturing etc.

The Big MNCs selling their goods like curd etc must be told to changeover to tin cans.

Once this process is over than imposing ban etc is justified.

complete ban is not the solution.If collected and recycled properly there won't be much problem with plastics.Moreover too much of usage of paper is also bad to environment as it leads to deforestation.

Ways to avoid or rather minimize Plastic use our daily life
by Vikas Saxena on Apr 09, 2018 05:48 PM

1. Always carry a Cotton bag or reusable Plastic bag. You can keep it in your car/scooter/bicycle or whatever is your mode to commute. Else if you are on your feet, you can fold and keep in your pocket
2. When we go vegetable shopping, we usually buy every single vegetable rolled in a plastic bag which we can avoid for sure by putting everything in one cloth bag and segregating those vegetables back at home
3. Avoid plastic bags to the extent possible. Will find that it's actually quite easy, once we start using them
4. Accepting and collecting more plastic simply means more plastic waste which eventually would end up either getting burnt up or buried under the ground or eaten up by an animal. In all the 3 cases, it is life threatening to human and animal life
5. Try to keep a dustbin at home and not collect waste in a polythene or a plastic bag
