In other cities such as Mumbai,there are restrictions on the thickness and since it's quite difficult to measure that on the spot, the whole issue is a mess. One day I'll write a post on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which is present in our oceans right now. We all know what must be done, but as you said, the political will is lacking and that has its roots in the wishes of the people. So the ultimate solution has to come from the people. No getting around that. @Sajid

I do agree with the way we are extracting all the available blood from mother nature's veins. We should in turn provide her with energy drink (through planting trees, conserving forest and so on).A very good decision I came across on my visit to Manali (Himachal Pradesh). There exist a political will on the ban of use of plastic bags that can ruin the serene nature. We need these regulations and indeed their execution. Else we are not far from our own Killing (I will prefer the word 'Killing' instead of 'Suicide' as it contains an act of force) Bhagwad, You article was able to provide all the points required to proove your point.
