Plastic Ban

It's a wrong notion developed in common man that plastic is hazardous and we should not use plastic. Plastic has made our lives easy & it is convenient.It can be used with any food item, vegetables, water, medicine, garments, stationary, jewelery, toothpaste, shampoo, washing powder, food grain, vegetable oil, milk, fruits & many more things & is available anytime anywhere. It has made our life easy. It has given employment & provided a livelihood to lacs of people which is always a concern for any government.

It has replaced paper and thus saved a lot of trees from being cut & is very essential to stop global warming.

Plastic waste of course is a concern only when it is not collected and reused. All plastic should be recycled and reused. It is our responsibility to throw this plastic or any wastage in dustbins so it can be sent for recycling. We need to change our habits and not ban plastic. We can also generate electricity from any plastic waste with hardly 1% residue. Whereas thousands of trees & lacs of liters of water is used to manufacture paper. This contaminated water is disposed off in rivers or the sea and thus pollutes the environment.

Plastic is made out of a byproduct left after processing of crude oil which is extracted from the sea. So why say no to plastic?? Iron ore used for making metal is depleting our land. Paper is taking away our trees & pushing us towards global warming.

So when we say ban plastic.......are we talking of saving the environment?? Who should we blame? A civilian who doesn't throws thrash in dustbins or the Municipal Corporation who has not developed an efficient system to collect waste & passes their inability & failure to plastic users?

Shouldn't these politicians stop playing with the common man's life and getting political mileage from it?

Mobiles have made our lives easy but at the same time they take away our mental peace.They are also generating e-waste which is not recyclable. Should we ban the use & sale of mobiles?? Cars, bikes, trucks emit a lot of CO2 so should we ban cars and stop manufacturing all vehicles? Air-conditioners emit a lot of hot air so should we ban air-conditioners?? Lots of hazardous chemicals are used for agriculture which cause cancer & deaths of farmers. Can't we ban them and go for organic chemicals immediately? I can give you many such examples of things which we should ban immediately.

Should we Ban plastic??? Do we want to go back to the 18th century???Should we not correct our habits rather than banning all products & gadgets?? Can't we make rational use of all our resources so we make life better for the next generation?Should we think of replacing plastic with paper??? more

The present scenario in Mumbai/Maharashtra due to the illogical plastic ban, is due to non-application of proper mind by the concerned authorities/state government/MCGM and their callous attitude to this right from the early days. Ultimately we, the common men are facing hardship. This is the result of idiots ruling our state. They just can't think of a solution. If they had only banned manufacture and production of low micron plastic, that itself would have solved the problem. They wanted money/revenue/taxes from the plastic manufacturers that's why they did not stop the manufacture & production of low micron plastic bags. The government even did not know know to recycle such wastes. Of course, it is out fault too - to have elected such uncouth uneducated/under educated persons to govern our state. Let's put education in the forefront in the coming elections. more  
Plastic is doing great harm to environment. Enter any city by train and you will find huge amount of plastic bags on both sides of Railway Track. The gutters, drains etc get choked blocking drainage and causing water logging/floods. The people who are advocating use of plastic should come forward in national interest to collect plastic materials thrown away and recycle it. more  
1) We can survive without plastic, it is not essential commodity. 2) It is true that plastic is very much useful, but what about its disposal/destruction at the end. 3) We have seen it in the stomach of cows, fishes etc. 4) It is a main cause of water logging in cities like Mumbai, if anyone walks through mithi nadi going through Kurla, he will see the full surface is covered with plastic waste more  
Saif Contractor is right in his campaign. more  
Mr.RT, like that we survived without electricity also. Plastic is one of the best inventions of science. Just because Govt does not employ enough rag-pickers, we are banning a wonder material. From plastic you will go to Paper. Use paper & cut trees ? more
