I was visiting the local grocery store and I saw a re-usable bag for 99 cents. Store ad says, Go Green and use re-usable bags.
My thoughts just went 10-20 years back in India where I used to take a re-usable bag made by my grandma using synthetic material (Koodai) to the local grocery store to buy vegatables.
Also, Grocery store uses old-used newspaper to pocket the goods like sugar, dal etc.
:-) Now Indians started using polyethylene plastic bags and western countries started going back to re-usable bags campaign.
I am wondering, Is it a change happening in the world from Industrial revolution in 1970 and invention of new chemicals and alloys to back before 1970's as these chemicals/alloys are spoling th world.
Itz the same case in Organic vegatables, Herbal/Natural products with less chemicals.....
I feel Indians and other eastern countries were living a good life, using re-usable bags (Eventhough it is plastic) & eating healthy, natural food and using herbal powder for hair wash and neem tree stem as tooth brush.
Big corporations are now spoiling their life my introducing their way of life which the western people itself are trying to change.
I dont think we will learn unless another GO GREEN corporation campaign comes around later after 5 years to introduce their new product.
Also about biking (Cycling) to reduce air-pollution and reduce green house gas emissions. :-) I love to see all Indians own a car, But as western countries build cycling lanes in new roads and campaigning to use public transits. 50% of Indians still use cycle and public transit to commute to work not because to reduce green house emissions, but because of economic situations. I want them to improve economically and buy a car, But choose to use when necessary and continue to use Bicyles and public transit.....
