PM Modi’s reaffirmation of making India free from single-use plastics has gained appreciation from all including the political opposition.
On the occasion of Independence Day PM Modi has announced to make this effort a mass movement.
As the nation has witnessed in the instances of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, whenever Modi governments turn something into a movement of people’s participation it always becomes successful in its objective.
According to this report, only 55 countries comprehensively restrict the retail distribution of plastic bags, in tandem with restrictions on manufacturing, production, and imports.
In 2018, India announced its commitment to eliminate all single-use plastics such as carry bags, straws, and water bottles by 2022 when India celebrates 75 years of the country’s independence.
Observing the environment day back in 2018, PM Modi said this:
This is equivalent to 4 Mount Everests worth of waste – and just 9% is recycled?
It refers to plastic packaging that cannot be used again and may or may not be recycled depending on the plastic material type, hence its name.Here’s a list of some single-use plastic items:StrawsPlastic cutleryPlastic shopping bagsDisposable plastic lids for hot drinksPlastic water bottlesTake-away boxes and drinks’ cupsCigarette endsFood wrapsBottle capsStirrers All of these are common, everyday items that pose a hazard to the environment.
To lead a pure living lifestyle, it is wise to take note of your own plastic packaging that you purchase and make a vow not to buy products that involve single-use plastic.On a positive note, many huge global companies have sat up and taken notice of the environmental dangers of single-use plastic.
For example, Hyatt Hotels has banned single-use plastic, so has Starbucks and McDonalds (in some countries).Many countries around the world are joining forces to stop the use of single-use plastic; some have started their bans (16 in all) including the United Kingdom, the USA and Taiwan.
India will follow later this year in October.
The ban will mean corporates such as airports, hotels, offices and airlines will eventually remove all use of single-use plastic, replacing it with recyclable plastic or cardboard and paper.
This ‘source-based’ report is misleading for the simple reason that Indian administration had never really expressed an intention to ‘ban’ single-use plastics.
Both in the official communication and in media reports, it has always been evident that the government has resolved to reduce the use of single-use plastics but never really proposed any ‘blanket ban’.
Whether in his Independence Day Speech or in Mann Ki Baat episode on August 25, 2019 in which PM Modi has spoken about the fight against single-use plastics, it has been evident that the PM wants this fight to become a people’s movement that aimed at behavioral change in the society as the main element.
Last month in his visit to Mathura, the PM sat with the women who were segregating waste and extended a helping hand.
It is evident that PM Narendra Modi believes in achieving a greater and sustainable good only through people’s participation.
So, Reuters did both the things.
