An initiative by Cal India Tours and Travels Team
The problem with plastic is that most of it isn't biodegradable.
Each year, 400 million tons of plastic is produced and 40% of that is single-use - plastic we'll only use once before it's binned.
It is much lighter than a mobile phone. Carry a bag from home for shopping
Don't be drastic, Say 'NO' to Plastic Bag.
If you can’t ‘Reuse’ it! | ‘Refuse’ it!
