Dialogue between two friends about plastic ban Which is to be implemented by the end of the month
Answers
Ram- Hi, why are you carrying so many things in your hand?
Syam- Mom asked me to get these things urgently and the shopkeeper is not giving a poly bag.
Ram- Don’t you know it has been banned?
Shyam- Now, shopping will be so difficult!
Ram- No, dear it won’t be. You can carry the shopping bags from your home itself.
Shyam- Yes, exactly! its that easy. Thanks dear.
Ram: I find that most shops have stopped giving their customers plastic bags to carry home the things they buy from the shops.
Shyam: That is because of the ban by Government on using plastic bags.
Ram: Oh! I did not know there was a ban. So, are the shopkeepers not allowed to give plastic bags at all?
Shyam: Bags below a certain micron thickness have been banned. Shopkeepers using such bags will be penalized.
Ram: I guess that is why I see cloth bags or paper bags being used.
Shyam: Yes, absolutely. These bags are not only reusable like plastic bags, but also much more easily recyclable. Therefore, there is no threat to the environment.
Ram: That is really nice to hear. I hope the shopkeepers continue to follow this without resuming the use of plastic bags after a while.
