Recycling in real sense.2

Recycling.

Dear Friends,

Once again, I coming with the topic of recycling. I hope you like this.

I was watching the DW documentories ( which are just five minutes), these are worth watching and now a days they are reproducing them in Hindi.

There was one documentary which was on recycling of plastics, it was about some african island, ruled by prortugese. Its link is shared here, which you can go through.

Here the people keep(preserves) the plastic bottles used by them for months together, there is one NGO comes to collect these bottles. For every 50 bottles they give one steel bottle freely, because of this everyone preserves these plastic bottles and hand it to the NGO workers. Because of this the whole island has become plastic free.

Here in India, can we think of such things.

Here one thing we can understand from this as below,

1. The people are getting educated towards enviroinment, social responsiblity and at the end they are getting some thing in return, because of this they take interest.
2. One more thing their children are also involved in this activty, and they are also learning these values.
3. One more thing, we learn that such practices can be cultivated in to people by giving them some thisng in return, where as not by putting fine towards use of plastics. When the concept of fine comes in to picture, then the Govts interest will be collecting fine not in solving this problem. One more thing this increases the bribing
4. The otherway also can be to stop production of plastic bags and containers by providing some subsidies to non plastic bag and container producers.
5. The recycling charges can be levied from the plastic producers so that the cost of plastic also increases and the people may avoid using them.
6. Another thing goverment can put a ban on importing of palstic packed foods, plastic utensils, toys etc. This can also reduce the usage of plastic, by doing so the government can easliy achieve the palstic free nation.

Similarly we can think of many solutions if we are really worried about over nation and environment. This requires the Governments commitment towards making our country plastic free.
