Are you the change?

How many of you ever refused to take plastic bags?
The plastic bag which you are using today is going to take more than 1000 years to decompose. It is not biodegradable. These are photo-degradable, means a polythene decompose in sun light. But this is a very slow process. If you assume our average age is 80 years then your 13th generation will see what type of gift you left for them 1000 years before.
Start saying "No" to plastic bag. For that only you have to carry your own paper or cloth bag. It will not even reduce uses of plastic bag, it will also reduce those poisonous contents to get into your body which these plastic bag contains. Plastic can only be clean by boiling in water, which is not possible with plastic bags.
Every day I saw people carrying their vegetables and fruits in these plastic bags. And these shopkeepers never care for giving them plastic bag. Many times I refused to take plastic bag. I did not refuse to take plastic bags to them I am concern about environment I am refusing because I do not want to give my 13th generation these type of gifts.
You can start encouraging your shopkeeper just saying “no” to plastic bag. So next time show them your own cloth bag and realize them you are the change.
Please be a part of the change and say “no” to plastic bag.

Please share this post if you like my view.
