| Re: Plastic bags in Delhi
When I was in India, quite a few years ago now, the plastic bag problem was a bit different to the one we know.
We tend to go to supermarkets and do one big shop using several large plastic bags which end up in landfill. India has many more small shops and kiosks/roadside vendors, each of which puts everything in small thin plastic bags.
It is a problem of habit more than anything else. Everything comes with a thin plastic bag, most of which seem to end up ruining the countryside and beaches, since they get blown away by the wind and congregate in all those special places. |
