So what can we do to stop side effects of plastic in our daily life.

1. Carry Paper/Cloth BagEvery time you go for shopping keep a reusable bag with you. Local market shopkeeper always gives you vegetables in plastic bags. In such places use your bag instead of collecting those Poly bags. This small change in your lifestyle will make a big difference in the environment.
