Subject: Thank You for Banning Single Use Plastic

Dear Respected Prime Minister Modiji:

We Bharatiyas would recycle everything until plastics were introduced. This proclamation of banning single use plastics timely. There should be strict immediate consequences faced by companies and parties that distribute such material.

I travel on Konkan Railway trains often and it pains me to see people throwing thrash out the window. Even though dust bins are provided in the toilets, people are used to old habits.

What we need are creative community messages on TV and radio that are broadcasted regularly. That appeal to kids who then will stop their parents from throwing garbage.

Below is a podcast that takes an interesting view of the supplier/consumer dynamics. Both sides are to blame. Hope this message gets forwarded to an individual who is involved in the Swatch Bharat program.

There are some very good ideas in this podcast.
