Sir:
I write to your esteemed self to express my deep concern on
the menace of plastic bags. Plastic bags have wreaked catastrophic havoc in our
country. 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. Through the
columns of your reputed daily I appeal to the people and concerned authorities
to look into the matter and ban plastic bags in the city. The need of the hour
is to replace plastic with environmental friendly materials. All of us need to
join our hands to fight this menace and preserve our beautiful environment. We
must stop using plastic altogether. Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Manmohan Vaid
