Plastic everywhere

While the monsoon showers are welcome  the mess that the city's drainage system  creates  makes you feel  that it is better we have  one long summer instead . Little puddles of water , mounds of rubble and  rubbish  and to make matters worse plastic carry bags floating around   do not make for a pretty sight . Some major steps have indeed been taken to reduce the use of plastic  . Banning of plastic carry bags at weddings ,  charging by establishments for the same etc .But there is one industry that uses a lot of plastic and that is the food industry . Take- aways use so much of plastic  and I shudder to think when  it will ever degrade .Time to go back to our banana leaves , butter paper and other eco-friendly packaging . Hotels  and restaurants should in the interest of environment protection  think on these lines .This is one area where we could do with a bit of innovation !
