So much is being written about plastics – newspapers carry stories about the plastic menace, Governments are up in arms, banning polybags around the country, schools and colleges are launching awareness drives to ban plastics, etc. But plastics are still around. And will be around for many more years to come. Not only strewn on the roads and hillsides or choking drains and rivers, but also inside our homes.
This book documents the source, perils and health effects of plastic. It also gives the type and the usages of plastics in India. While the Government is doing its bit, the citizen should also be aware of their actions and their impacts on nature. The book drafts some simple rules that the community can follow to reduce the plastic menace.
