Mangalore has become plastic free since December 1st with the authorities banning the use of plastic bags in all super markets and shops.If and when you forget a bag along with you , you can buy a jute bag which would cost Rs 5 for a small one Rs 15 for a medium sized one and Rs 30 for a large bag. If you are carrying plastic bags in public places you are fined by the police...One can already see the difference it has made to the cleanliness and general look of the city...

I agree this is a step in the right direction and we are all proud of our corporation and the concerned authorities who are very strictly following this up...

Now the central government must issue a strong rule according this. So the chain will continue go on.

GOOD. Some initiative. But it remains to be seen if the authorities can maintain the same grip in implementing all along. Because, i have seen in my place our civic authorities declared war on plastics some time ago and they failed miserably in implementing it fully.

Of course that is to be seen...Mangalore has always been a clean city and people are very aware here and come together the moment there is need to correct things, like bad roads etc...Now we have concrete roads all over the city and even the smaller roads are being upgraded. So, I feel that plastic ban is here to stay since there have been a lot of debates with the public actively participating...
This rule is applicable in our area for long time but there is no value of it practically. Polythene bags are available openly which are only choking the drainage system drastically.
Was it effective at least in the beginning and later became lax in implementation....I agree that plastic and polythene bags are choking the drains and messing up all the cities and people have to seriously think of taking stronger measures...
In many places of India plastic is banned but it was just the words written on water. All are forgotten about this and using plastic again.
Yes that is the problem of any law or measure that is taken, unless it is strictly implemented people on their own do very little in the way of helping keep the environment clean..

We all want a movie like 2012 saying about the use of plastic what is the problems.

Unless we change the mind set of the people I dont think that we can achieve much, no amount of films or documentaries would help...
