plastic ban

Picture this – a cow gulps down a carry bag discarded in a field. The bag is white and looks like plastic. But don’t worry about it killing the cow. It actually does – nothing! Find out why.

The ban on plastic will be enforced from March 14 and include thermocol and plastic beads, but exempts dairy products, sealing manufactured products, and goods for export.

With the view of protecting Ganga from pollution, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued a complete ban on the use of plastic from Gomukh to Haridwar, along the river.
