Each year we hear government taking strict actions to curb air pollution by imposing strict regulations on burning crackers, but no action is taken to reduce the usage of plastic/thermacol disposable cutleries.The recent decision to stop the use of single-use plastic is a commendable decision taken China Easy tear films Company by our PeoplePrime Minister Narendra Modi. After a huge success of Open Defecation Free (ODF) India under Swachh Bharat Mission, ittime we lay our focus equally on another immerging issue that is freeing the environment from Single-Use Plastic..
