Sub : Ban of plastic carry-bags and bottles.
Dear Sir,
The use of plastic carry-bags by shopkeepers is one of the rise everywhere. Little do these people realise what a danger they pose to the environment. Carry-bags filled with rubbish thrown into gutters and sewers result in problems of waterloging and flooding, especially during the rains. Animals chew the carry-bags from public waste bins and these clog their intestines and give them a very slow and painful death. Worse still, the shop owners use carry-bags of very low micron value. These are lethal, both for the environment as well as for the animals.
It is my view that such bags should be banned altogether. Factories producing such bags should be shut down altogether. Periodic raids should be conducted by government authorities concerned. Thus the problem will be nipped in the bud. Also heavy fines should be imposed both on shopkeepers as well as customers who use such bags. Plastic is one of man's Worst inventions and should be banned altogether.
Thanking youYours truly,

Very nice.
