Say NO to Plastics

or pay for it... Blanket ban on plastics never kicked off… Shops are now charging for it. While standing in the queue in Shopper’s Stop, I could see three out of five before me took their stuff without the plastic bag when the guy said there will be additional charges. Such a remarkable change… may be the next time those two would bring their own bags. We refused a plastic bag too. Amma’s big purse could hold two shirts, one t-shirt, and an evening dress. Perfect! I remember taking two big jute bags to Sunday market when we were in Kodai. We don’t take more than a small purse and a wallet for shopping these days. Change your shopping habits as it good for both your wallet and earth :)

Well thought out. I am completely in favor of this initiative but what about unplanned shopping ? May be govt has to come up with some other innovative ideas.
