“Delhi generates over 538 metric tonnes of plastic waste annually, a maximum covers plastic bags despite ban on their use by the city government” one out of the thousands pitiful news headlines that reveals the state of poor environmental practices among the people of your country that leaves nature in a state of sorry. Polythene made from a simple chemical reaction between chemical compound Like ethylene is no doubt among the world’s most widely used plastic for making packaging bags but it is piling up at a high alarming rate and spreading at a toxic scale. They are non biodegradable. They litter the roads, gardens, the clean beaches, snaring water creatures and chocking animals and humans as well. Another facts tells that polythene demands likely to rise in India by 129% far suppressing Asia’s projected growth rate of 81%” and if projections are correct, India will be the second largest importer of polyethylene by 2023!! These facts sound, scary didn’t they?
OUR ONE SMALL STEP, A QUITE EASY ONE CAN MAKE DIFFERENCE IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN REACHING UP THE LIMITS ON THE GLOBAL LEVEL. AS WE NEED TO GET THERE SOONER AND BETTER WHY NOT START USING THE BAGS MADE BY NATURAL PRODUCT LIKE JUTE TODAY ITSELF? — IT’S A RENEWABLE RESOURCE — YOU USE YOUR JUTE POUCH OVER AND OVER WHICH MUST BE EXCELLENT OF ALL?
The time is here when you can make your own gripe! Use of jute bag and jute pouch can be best described as the modest measure to save environment! And in a country like India where the jute production contributes more than 50% to the global market, there is an abundant resource for the production of jute pouch. Jute plant fibre can be spun into strong threads, is one of the cheapest, durable and most importantly environmental friendly.
Shouting ‘green’ and ‘save the planet’ is not a call of yesterday but it is continuous, understated, almost but not quite — unnoticeable!! Jute pouch falls in the category of reusable bags, simply giving us a deliberate alternative to not only avoid but prohibit plastics. Won’t you like to go for a win win situation in all cases? “In the neatly painted room are four sewing machines and meticulously stacked jute pouches. The bags, in hues, tell the full story.” a volunteer with the Art of Living, Shikha Grover gives a shining examples how this golden fibre has also led the inner quest of women in a small Karnataka village to excel. Hence, if we take a deeper look into this matter the studies gives us a strong sense that promoting a market of jute goods has great importance in the local communities and sustainability outcomes.
