Plastic bags are one of the biggest causes for pollution and environmental degradation. Although most of us are aware of this fact, we continue to use them.

Therefore, I urge each and every one of you to strictly avoid the usage of plastic bags. Here are some other alternatives :

• Carry a jute/cloth bag when you are planning to go to a shop;

• In case of an unplanned purchase, avoid a plastic bag if you can carry things in your hand;

• Encourage shops around you to use recyclable paper bags;

• Avoid carrying more than one plastic bag if things can be fit into just one;

• Shops should be strictly instructed not to use plastic bags at all, especially if they sell dry items like clothes and shoes.

In order to make our environment plastic-free and pollution-free, each and every one of us needs to put in an effort. Every effort, however small counts in saving our environment.
