It’s encouraging to see active youth groups walking along beaches and river banks scooping up discarded plastic wrappings, bottles, bags, slippers and plastic junk that are causing not only unsightliness but are also a source of deadly toxic chemicals in our environment. They are cleaning up our mess when we use and discard plastic bottles and wrappings. The laws in a few places banning plastic bags in the market places are a positive change but is it enough to solve a gigantic problem? It is hopeful that many more people are aware of the dangers of plastic but much more has to be done to undo this terrible mistake by mankind: manufacturing almost everything out of plastic.
