More than a year ago, the government put in place certain measures to control the indiscriminate use of plastic bags can be used to carry materials. The customet is asked if a plastic bag is required, and is charged a nominal price according to the size of the bag. This, to some extent, discourages customers, especially those who buy very few items. Since plastic bags are not given free with the products bought, the name of the shop and its owners must not be printed on the bag. Instead of plastic bags Being recycled, paper bags could be provided. This would result in more customers, less pollution and a better environment to live in. The best course of action would be to put a blanket ban on the use of plastic irrespective of the thickness and place where it is used.
