Subject: Rampant use of banned plastic bags by shopkeepers and vendors
Sir:
I am writing this letter to bring to your kind notice the illegal use of banned plastic bags by majority of shopkeepers and vendors. The Government banned it to reduce plastic pollution, but still many short-sighted and ill-informed vendors use it with impunity.
These plastic bags are thrown carelessly by people after one use. As a result plastic waste has wreaked catastrophic havoc in our city. Huge heaps of un-cleaned waste with stinking substances in them are not only a pathetic sight, but also posed a great threat to the health of those dwelling near these heaps and passersby. I am sure visitors must be thinking very about us.
The water bodies and the aquatic flora and fauna have been affected the most. A walk along any river, lake, and beach is sufficient to know the consequences of this ubiquitous ugliness floating. Scientists in their recent research have found plastic to be much more toxic than previously expected. Plastic is making our environment highly toxic.
The state of the water bodies in the city is pathetic. The aquatic life has been choked to death. These water bodies have become the stinking, rotting places which are the breeding grounds of many diseases.
I appeal to your good-self to look into the matter and take strict action against the culprits. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Amit Dhavan
To the Chairman,
Environment Department,
Dear Sir,
The harmful effect of using plastic on environment is well known now. I am appalled that our local market vendors are using the plastic bags indiscriminately and that is causing choking hazard in local sewage system. If you kindly take the initiative to ban the use of plastic in market, it will be highly beneficial for sewage maintenance and local pollution control to a large extent.
