A Lesson learnt on Recycling-BYOB / BYOC


A Lesson learnt on Recycling-BYOB / BYOC

My Singhad Trip- a Lesson learnt on Recycling
It was a Sunday lazy morning, 8th December 2013, for anyone it would be a day to relax and enjoy the programs on television. But as promised to my wife woke up and was ready for the trip by 9:30 am. The jaunt was full of fun moments to cherish for life time.
While returning from the Singhad fort, my wife sighted a place where fresh green vegetables were sold in abundance. Vendors claimed they are fresh and just brought from the farmers. We were enticed
To buy, which we did latter. During the process, Commoners were buying and negotiating hard with the vendors. Amazed to see commoners carrying bags made of clothes from their homes and not demanding plastic bags from the vendors. On the contrary, people from the urban are always seen asking for the Plastic bags from the shopkeepers, vendors etc. As they say “Most worthwhile things do involve some work”.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is prevalent in many organizations. Why can’t we apply the same theory while buying vegetables, fruits etc. Can be termed as BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) OR BOYC (Bring Your Own Container). Bring your own container in which to take the food home. Or, the store gave you a container which you had to give back later.
Let’s be little responsible and start right now avoiding polythene bags/ utensils/plates made of plastics. As, plastics take much longer time to decompose, which in result is harmful for the environment and our “Mother Earth”.
Better Late than never….Are you on board ?
