Tackling the Menace of Our Carry Bags

What are disadvantages of using plastics, what are chemicals used to prepare them and what are their effects? You should meet a chemist and get answers for these. Conduct a survey in the colony, list out the households, which use the carry bags. Find out how many carry bags are being used per day by each household. How they dispose off the used and old carry bags has to be found out. Find out from the nearby fancy shops, grocery stores, pan shops and other shops as to how many carry bags are used by them. How many carry bags are they giving to the customers and how many are they receiving from the distributors daily, weekly, monthly. Find out how many among the people who go to the shops solely depend on carry bags and how many people use their personal bags to take home the commodities. After conducting the survey, prepare a chart on the methods of use and disposal of carry bags by the people. Conduct an exhibition in your colony on the dangers of the use of plastic carry bags. Also conduct awareness meetings on this topic. Try to encourage the use of alternatives like paper bags, jute and cloth bags instead of plastic bags by the consumers and shopkeepers in your neighbourhood. Ask the people what they used before the plastic bags became popular as a medium to carry commodities. Request them to switch back to the old methods.
