It's a heated issue in Goa today with tourism season approaching fast.
Plastic is an eco-friendly material.
But there is hardly anybody who agrees with his viewpoint. We are not against long-lasting plastic and the one which could be recycled. The government, since 15 August, has also started seizing all the recycled coloured carry bags which are having thickness below 20 microns. But the collectorates are handicapped with the lack of micrometers to count the gauge while shopkeepers complain that their bags above 20 microns are also being seized. Microns do not matter much in terms of environmental hazard any carry bag creates.
