I am sure that my son is not going to thank his parents / grand parents / society for what they all did.
I am depresses a lot with the fact that none of us care for the next generation and we are simply destroying the beautiful mother nature.
Plastic bags, what a waste of time and energy…
Restrictions on the thickness of the plastic bags do not make plastic bags a better option.
Personally, me and my wife have started refusing the plastic bags and we carry our own cloth bags.
Here are few tips on how to avoid plastic bags
1. Vegetables – certainly, can be carried in cloth bags
2. Fruits – cloth bags
3. Fish, Mutton, Chicken – tricky one, however I carry a stainless-steel tiffin (cylindrical in shape) to market.
A little overhead for a much better environment.
Moreover, I always carry a backpack (sack) and it comes handy for carrying various things.
Another advantage of backpack is, one’s both the hands are free and weight is all carried by shoulders.
Lastly, if you are gifting something, e.g. a saree / shirt – you will always end up with having a plastic bag. and the question is, how would you gift it, without a plastic bag of the store.
Do not get offended/embarrassed and offer the gift without the plastic bag. Take Pride.
