Plastic
Noxious to Environment

Bihar
government is contemplating to ban plastics in
any form and want to introduce plastic rules of
1999. Any person, shop, or vendor found
violating the rules will be punished.
I am surprised to see that the US and Canada use
plastic bags enormously. All vegetable shops in
Ontario contain rolls of plastic bags and
consumers using them freely. Yes, I agree that
the plastic that is being used here in Patna is
non-biodegradable. Most of the manufacturers
established their factories illegally and are
doing brisk business underneath the insidious
guidance of the officials. It is well known to
them and they are getting certain amount every
month from each manufacturer. Colored plastic
bags are especially very harmful and hazardous
to health.
People in US and Canada are very conscious, they
are making use of it but dump the trash at
dumping stations. You will never see any plastic
material spread on the roads. On every road a
trash bin is kept and even a small bag of snack
is dumped in the trash bin. The culture which I
could observe can be seen with the small
children too. They never throw anything on the
road; they will be fined for littering is a
punishable act. Just opposite is seen in
Bihar/India, neither such outlook is there nor
the people are thinking on the cleanliness of
the environment. The government officials from
police station to the pollution control board
are busy minting money by any means, they never
think about the state, country and the people.
There is need for very hard rules and stiff
actions on the violators.
