3. Write a letter to the editor of an English newspaper expressing your concern over the excessive use of Plastic Bags.
To
The Editor
The Telegraph
Kolkata - 700001
Subject: Banning of
plastic carry bags.
Respected Sir,
Through the columns
of your esteemed daily I would like to express my deep concern over the
excessive use of plastic bags.
The recent flood in
Kolkata due to water-logging caused by polythene or plastic bags has raised a
hue and cry in the society. Plastic bags are undoubtedly a cheap and convenient
medium of carrying almost all kinds of goods. But they are non-biodegradable.
Hence, they are not at all eco-friendly. Moreover, the burning of these
polythene articles emits noxious gases polluting the atmosphere. The toxic gas
emitted is dangerous for children. We have to minimize the use of plastic bags
and replace them by jute or paper bags. However, the use of plastic below 40
micron may be permissible. The Government should come forward to enforce strict
laws regarding its prohibition.
Therefore, I
request you to create mass awareness through your editorial column.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
N. Das
