New Delhi, July 2 : Today, concerns around climate change and global warming have led to increased awareness among people to preserve and conserve nature.
A small step taken towards this effort goes a long way in building a sustainable future for the next generation. Plastic pollution is one of the most persistent problems of today. In a country like India, there needs to be a complete shift from the use of plastics to bio- degradable substances.
Individuals and brands alike are now focusing on building a portfolio of sustainable products for daily use. As we increasingly adopt the practice of going green, government and organisations too are working hard on playing their role in this mission. In fact, the environment ministry has announced the ban of single-use plastic items from July 1st, 2022. This includes wrapping or packaging films, plastic cutlery, straws, and plastic sticks for balloons and ear buds and more.
Moreover, we are also close to the ‘International Plastic Bag Free Day’ which is celebrated each year on July 3, in an effort to encourage people to look for alternatives.
On this occasion, we share a few conscious and eco-friendly alternatives to daily use products that will help you do your part to support a plastic free life.
