Say 'No' to Plastic
SAY NO TO PLASTICS!!
As quoted by Lord Byron,
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

The earth is the only known world to harbour life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. For 200 years we have been conquering nature, now we are beating it to death. One of the factor is the excessive use of plastics.

We want our distant descendants to remember us by the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China, and not by the billions of Styrofoam cups that are tossed away by us every year, or the thousands of tonnes of plastic bottles, bags, and wrappers, hurled from speeding cars to float forever across the face of the earth.Plastic is found to be one of the major toxic pollutants of our time. Being a non-biodegradable substance, composed of toxic chemicals, plastic pollutes earth, air and water.
More than a 100 million tonnes of plastic are produced worldwide each year. The “THROW AWAY CULTURE” of ours results in the same finding their way into the city’s drainage system, thus causing inconvenience and creating an unhygienic environment. People are so accustomed to plastic, that they find it a difficulty to part with and hence DEGRADABLE PLASTICS should be brought into effect to reduce the usage of plastic in our country.
