When one gets to have a look at the present crop of problems subsisting in the world, one can witness that there is a hue and cry all over about the usage of plastic. On the same lines, when one takes the situation in Nepal, one gets flabbergasted at the sight of the garbage flooding the mountain areas. It includes empty cans and loads of plastic material, which might just turn out to be a linchpin in the prevailing problems of the nation, if the saga continues.
One might end up with a plethora of causes if one explores the reasons for piling up of such huge amounts of garbage in the region. One of the driving causes for the outburst of plastic material can be attributed to the spurt in the number of tourists to Nepal over the years. Even the various methods employed to keep a check on these mounds of garbage did not bear the desired results. But sorry to say this, it is one of the most astonishing and cynical things the nation had been experiencing for years!
Bottom-Line:
The surveys conducted suggested that there is a need for prognosis in the mindsets of the people to refrain themselves from using plastic and its derivatives. Thanks to some volunteer organizations and media, there is a quotient of awareness instilled in the public. Yet, there is a need for radical change in the methodologies since there are some sections among the people who are absolutely oblivious of the fact that it is not the plastic bags that they are carrying but in fact they are inviting the tribulations hovering around the usage of plastic.
But a commendable step among all the black marks is that few of the market stores (Emerald Mithai Shop at Hyderabad) have stopped serving the goods in plastic bags for their customers. There is a crying need for such holistic approaches to be followed and one should take a leaf out of their notebooks and try to implement the same in a more refined way.
