the house believes that technology has made plastic very relevant and a catalyst for economic growth but at the cost of environment.
Although we can not completely boycott plastic looking at the way we have grown accustomed to it in everyday life.
what is in the future for us if plastic is going to stay?
is there a way of setting a new path to a less polluted environment?
in my view nd also after discussion, plastic can not be outrightly ignored and be boycotted from our lives. my suggestion is to definitely curb its use to minimum but in phases. in the short run or phase 1 we can replace single use plastic with non polluting and biodegradable material like plastic straws are largely replaced by paper straws and poly bags made of plastic are banned now and jute/paper bags have made their way.
in the long run and subsequent phases plastic used in machines can be replaced by better researched materials gradually reducing overall global plastic generation. finally plastic can be reused and recycled in making roads or growing plants etc and examples can be seen all…
I think the first and the foremost step that we can take is reducing the use at personal level. Since it's impossible to ban plastic overnight, considering the harm it will cause to economy. We can encourage recycling and reusing in our day to day lives.
