Polythene pollution has drastically disturbed human life style. Polythene material can be seen spread over in the neighborhood, in the streets, in the rivulets, river-banks of the small or big rivers. Many rivers all are covered with a thick layer of polythene material. Degradation of Polythene is a great challenge for us as the materials are increasingly used. The people do not know about the effects of improper waste disposal. People therefore ignore & dump the polythene bags carelessly. Strictly Emphasis should be put on the use of paper bags. This is because the paper bags are also light & they can easily decompose, Globalization has added to this problem in a big way. Electronic gadgets all are designed with a view to use & throw, because the repairs are costly. western countries like USA, Garbage disposal problem has reached a horrifying level. But they have developed a scrupulous (meticulous) system of garbage disposal with periodical review. Here in India we need to prepare ourselves for this gigantic onslaught of pollution. Enough is enough! We need to be disciplined & we must cultivate civic sense to save India from this disaster. In order to fight the menace of Polythene pollution, the Local Self Government institutions should support us.
- Plastic polythene bags should banned altogether or by levying tax on plastic bags, polythene pollution may be checked.
- Polythene materials may be considered for recycling. Very less fractions of polythene containers can be reused by recycling like polythene containers for milk, soft drink, milk products, & water bottles. People should be encouraged to use wax paper instead of polyethylene products, to use cloth or hemp or jute or paper bags instead of plastic bags.
- More public awareness has to be created educating, explaining about the harmful impact of polythene pollution.
