Showing posts with the label plastic pollution

Where do you wish to live Paradise or purgatory?

Ever travelled in train and observed, amidst the scenic beauty there comes a patch, which has become a wasteland with all kinds of plastic layered at that spot. People throw away their garbage from a running train. When you ask them the reason they say, " What will ragpickkers do if we do their job?" Educated people coming from a good family, making such a statement sounds appalling to me. I am shocked. Even when there is dustbin in the running train, bins on platforms. Which they don't even bother to check,(hath khidki k bahar dalna zyada easy hai na(it's easier to throw garbage out of the window, it seems)) Throwing plastic here and there from the train. What is your intention people? Are you sending the ragpickers on a treasure hunt? There is no jewelry laced on the single use plastic that you throw away from the train.(nai toh phekte kya?) It flies with the flow of the wind and sits exactly where you left it to be. Waiting for more plastic buddies to join. Be it
