Our beloved city Surat is entering into this New Year 2020 as a plastic free city. The visionary initiative of Surat Municipal Corporation found a very mature and positive response from the citizens, vendors and business owners. SMC observed a complete ban on single use plastic goods, such as plastic pet bottles, all sort of plastic bags, straws and eating utensils. Instead SMC encourages you to opt for a more ecofriendly alternative that gives us an opportunity to go back to our roots and use the products that our ancestors used before the use of plastic became common, which includes the usage of jute or cloth bags, metal water-bottles and leaf-plates. SMC is giving their best efforts to keep our city plastic free, what are the suggestions that can make plastic ban more effective please drop your suggestions below.
