Ban Plastic Campaign

Plastic should be banned by law and the people to carry cloth bags while shopping whether it is for grocery or other shopping. As a citizen it is your individual social responsibility to carry cloth bags and do not accept to carry plastic bags while shopping.

At Jagrut, we are of a strong opinion that the law should be strictly implemented by authorities. There should be strict punishment for violators of the law. All state pollution control boards should be strengthened. All states should ban using of plastic bags and use only biodegradable plastic products. We appeal to all shop owners and citizens that they should strictly avoid using plastic bags, if they really care of the environment and their future.

  

After the 26/07 deluge in Mumbai, we took the initiative to address the problems caused due to the usage of plastic bags which was one of the main reasons of the disaster. During the campaign, awareness among people was created through media and distribution of jute and paper bags. We are glad that there is a law banning plastic bags. It is proof that if we continue and believe in the cause, no effort goes to waste.
