No Plastic in Camp area from 15 march

For a greener tomorrow the Cantonment board of Belgaum has decided to ban the use of plastic bags from March 15, 2010.
From that day loose plastic bags will not be available for sale or distribution. Products like milk, biscuits which come pre packed in plastics will be allowed.
The most important point here is to see how this ban is implemented with limited resources of the board and limited staff.
The ban on use of plastics is a welcome measure but how it is implemented is the biggest question.

This is really funny. Plastic is already banned in the Belgaum Cantonment. I remember in 2001 my school principal had announced that hence forth no plastic will be allowed in camp area, and was specifically instructed to announce it in the school.
This clearly shows how effective our local bodies are when it comes to implement policies/schemes. They surely must have forgotten that they have already banned plastic. And will conveniently forget this time too
