Housewives can also make a change

Generally people see a housewife as a family caretaker who look after household works, takecare of her husband and chilldren. But u will b surprised to hear that a group of housewives can make change in a positive way towards the growth of economy, protect our environment.One such example is in Sarita Vihar, Delhi where a group of housewives turned into mini mass movement , called SAMBHAV , to banish the plastic bag from their area. They contributed some money to create a corpus to work towards banning plastic bags, Started making cloth bags from the left over material of boutiques,useless cloths.They put their efforts to popularising these bags by compaigning in the locality , distributing it at nominal price to the vegetable vendors near their areas. The impact in locality is so that now Mother Dairy outlets has started purchasing these bags at Rs 5 and Rs 10 depending on size.It is just a effort of a small group towards the protection of the environment from the plastic bags and has an impact.Due to government's faltering on implementation banning has no meaning. If Government could strictly implement the ban on use of plastic bag with the existing laws, plastic bag would be a thing of past. Even if the laws can b strictly imposed on the merchants and vendoers who offers plastic bags after shopping, it would have impact. I can see it on Reliance fresh, Food Bazar and Patanjali medicos who offers cloth bag at rs 5-6. Initially people were purchased it once or twice but next time they were carring a cloth bag with them to carry their purchasing.We should not wait to act untill such things are imposed on us , every body has to do their bit to say no to use of plastic bag. There would definately be a change.
