Polybags have today become the part of our daily necessity. We are using them in different sizes without paying any attention towards their adverse effect on our health and hygiene. In the February 2010, Govt. banned on the use of poly bags. Specially, an officially order was released by the govt. to the health departments in different distt. for implement of this law strictly. Government said that poly bag is very-very harmful and unhygeine for the health. The use of the poly bag is strictly prohibited. To make our city poythene free, there were so many awareness campaign was also held. People were also inspired to use paper, cloth and non-wooven cloth bags. Every year about 200 animals died because of poly bags. Around 500,000 plastic bags were collected in Australia during clean up day. Each day 250 ton of plastic waste comes out of various colonies of major cities in many countries like India and Pakistan. Each year around 100 million barrels of oil is required to make the world's plastic bag. There is no effect on the public regarding the rules related to poly bags, but they don't know this is so harmful to the health and spoil their future.
