PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Minister Shinde,
I am writing to urge you to advocate for the ban of plastic bags in all supermarkets in Mumbai, India, to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste. Plastic bags are one of the largest contributors to pollution in the city and pose a severe threat to the environment and public health.
The use of plastic bags in supermarkets and grocery stores across Mumbai has resulted in increased pollution, causing harm to the ecosystem and wildlife. Additionally, these bags do not decompose easily, taking hundreds of years to break down and eventually resulting in a significant environmental hazard.
To address this issue, we must take immediate action to ban the use of plastic bags in all supermarkets in Mumbai. This will help to significantly reduce plastic pollution in the city, protect our environment and preserve the health of our marine ecosystems. Additionally, the government must encourage the use of alternative, eco-friendly bags, such as cloth bags, to promote sustainable practices.
We urge you to take immediate action and support the ban of plastic bags in all supermarkets in Mumbai, India, to protect our environment and public health.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
