Plastic smiles for long!!

Recently, I was visiting 'more' retail shop. My friend told me that the food items at more is always fresh and better. The store stood true to its fame but one thing was disheartening. I saw reams of plastic bags being used there. No need to mention how hazardous these bags are. Also, 'more' is not the only one store to use these bags. Everybody uses these bags. But, I was amazed to see that the storekeepers there insist people to use such bags. Even though, I bought 2 capsicums, I had to keep those in a large plastic bags and put some green chillies in another huge bag . Now, this needs serious concern.

Plastics are non-biodegradable materials. It takes around 10,000 years to recycle a plastic bag. If necessary use it. But at least we should avoid the use of such materials. Have a look at any garbage dump and then you will realise how hazardous this material is.

In spite of using plastic carry bags, we can use paper bags or of other materials.

Say no to plastics, it kills the mother earth.
