Two Steps Backward for the Environment

Six Single Use Plastic Items that were to be banned from 02 October 2019 in India were :

1. Plastic Carry Bags
2. Plastic Cups
3. Plastic Plates
4. Plastic Straws
5. Plastic Sachets
6. Plastic Small Bottles

The special day of 150th Gandhi Jayanthi was selected to impose the ban on use of the above plastic items.  This was purely to save our environment and our Prime Minister also made a statement of banning single use plastics in the UNGA.

However, it was unfortunate that the plastic lobby had a chest more than 56 inches to make the Prime Minister to withdraw this ban for the time being stating reasons of slow down in the economy.  

As Greta Thunberg said, money has won over the mind!!!
