मतलब अब क्या ही कहे ऐसी सोच को ..क्या सौ तोफो की सलामी दे
के medal दे सरकार या किसी पुरस्कार से नवाजे..
अरे भई
same ही time लगता है - कचरा फैलाना
ऐ भी एक तरह से - re- use/cycle ही है कचरा ना फैलाना

और वैसे भी एक बात समझ नही आती
कचरा फैलाने का time है पर खुद कचरा ना उठाना ऐ भी छोड दो
सिर्फ ईधर-उधर ना फेंकना
कौनसा time बचाकर ऐसा काम उखाड़ना है जिंदगी मे corona health issue natural calamity
रोक सकते हो ..नही..पर ईसके कारन जरूर बनते है
फीर वो time बचाकर देश की image सुरक्षा स्वास्थ्य दाव पर लगे या धरती पर बोझ बनते है
प्रकृती से छेडछाड या बैर
ईन्सान फीर तेरी नही खैर
so say - no to plastic
do at least own arewise or house
no Plastic zone
घुमने जाए कचरा साथ लेकर आए,
सुनहरी यादे जैसा

Microplastics have even been found in the air we breathe; when inhaled, they can lodge in the lungs or enter the bloodstream. In short, microplastics are ubiquitous, frequently difficult to detect and mitigate, and research has found the particles in human blood, heart, liver, and lung tissue, placenta, and breast milk. However, little is known about their long-term impact on human health.

"Microplastics are any plastic particles that are less than 5 millimeters in size
Common sources of plastic pollution include food wrappers, plastic bottles, plastic bottle caps, plastic bags, plastic straws, cigarette butts, tire-wear particles, and synthetic clothing.

One of the most common ways people are exposed to plastics is in the kitchen:

Black plastic spatulas and other utensils may contain harmful chemicals picked up when recycled from electronic waste.
Plastic cutting boards shed tiny fragments of varying shapes and sizes that can be ingested.
Plastic containers can leach chemicals when heated in the microwave.

According to laws in India, no manufacturer or vendor can use a plastic bag which is below 50 microns as thinner bags pose a major threat to the environment due to its non-disposability.

Plastic is banned in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Karwar, Tirumala, Vasco, Rajasthan, Kerala, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh. However, the usage of plastic bags is still high as the ban is not implemented on all plastic bags.

Cut down period waste
Switch to pads that are bio-degradable. Cotton pads help in cutting plastic pollution and are quite cheaper in comparison to the non-biodegradable pads.

Brands like Sakhi, Saathi and Suvidha sell organic pads in India

Stop throwing polybags in rivers in the name of god
There are many people who throw flowers, money, food, coconuts wrapped in plastic polybags in rivers like Yamuna and Ganga after performing various poojas. This is one of the major reasons that river Yamuna has become polluted so drastically over the few decades.
