Me and my wife have the same kind of mindset (lucky for me) and have been thinking we should do something to contribute for a greener tomorrow. But how? Where do we start? Our first thought was avoiding the use of plastic bags completely. Plastic bags have become a way of life here in Hyderabad and of course all over India. You only use plastic bags even though you have a choice. You use plastic bags because they come for free with shopping and you don’t have to carry anything while going to shopping. Well its easy that way right? But lately, we should learn that each family can use a significant number of plastic bags every year (about 200-500). Yes that’s a very little number of bags in an estimated 5 Billion used worldwide every year. That’s 500,000,000,000 ? That’s 1 million bags every minute? Lets not think at a level of filling the underground drainage with plastic bags and overflowing drains. Talk about destroying the planet with plastic, trash and pollution. Like the movie Wall-E?

Avoiding plastics may be a very small thing. But I guess its a good start for a better tomorrow.

Like Al Gore says in his presentations,
Our children might think..
“What were our parents thinking?”
We have to hear that question. Now!

Ya we heard that! Did you?

We want to spread the word as we follow it. But no resources are available. I mean a jute bag or a cloth bag with a message on it about avoiding plastics. Where do we get something like that? And how do we let others also use those bags with a message? How can we make our thought bigger? Much Bigger? How?

Share your thoughts and let us know your suggestions. And in the first place let us know if you are with us in this?

I bought the New HTC Touch Pro 2 weeks back (one of the first few pieces in Hyderabad) and had been very busy with it customizing or playing the gravity games. 

Bought it for the price of 32,500/- in Jagdish Market, Hyderabad with bill and warranty. Though it was locked with Idea network, the distributor provided with the unlock code. Also bought an 8GB SDHC memory card so that I don’t have to worry about memory usage for things like MP3s, Photos or Movies.
