ADVANTAGES OF COTTON BAGS
I am herewith illustrating some of the advantages of cotton bags when we compare with synthetic bags used by many of us. If you are convinced with my idea please change to cotton bags and say NO to other types of bags.
1. It is organic and less pollution is generated while making cotton bags.
2. Many people will get continuous jobs as no heavy machinery is used in stitching the bags or in making cotton cloth by weavers. We can save power and it can be used for other works.
3. It can be reused more than 1000 times. Hence garbage will be very less. Municipalities and Panchayats will save lot of money while transporting daily waste.
4. Petroleum can be saved and foreign exchange can be used for some other purpose as we are importing Oil from other countries.
5. You can gift cotton bags with your slogan on marriage day or birth day anniversary.
6. Fruits, vegetables and seeds could not get spoiled if you bring them in cotton bags. You can protect their freshness for some more time.
7. You can uplift the petty vendors financially as they are sparing an amount of Rs.2000/- on plastic carry bags when buyers are not bringing any bag with them. They can save nearly Rs.20, 000/- to Rs.30, 000/- annually. Please check it with any vendor. If any vendor is not giving you plastic bags, customers will go to another shop who gives goods in plastic bags.
8. Torn out cotton bags can be used for cleaning floors or vehicles.
9. Drainages can be free from plastic waste. No choking of drainages.
10. No danger to animal life on land and water.
11. We can minimize domestic waste with cotton bags. One bag can save 500 plastic bags in a year. No burning of waste as we use cotton for several times. Nobody will throw cotton bags after single use.
12. Outskirts of towns will be clean and no white pollution with synthetic bags.
13. We can save sacred cows and milk shortage will be avoided. If we go on using plastic bags at the present rate, we can see death of several animals and milk shortage in 2011. Be cautious and act wisely.
14. We can prevent soil from water pollution with several colours used on plastic bags given by Cloth shops and Sweet shops.
15. Shopping malls are giving so many plastic bags freely by incurring an expenditure of Rs.50, 000/-. Please think who are going to pay that money.
16. No allergy to our hands while using cotton bags where as you can get skin allergy if you go on touching plastic bags constantly.
17. We can save our farmers by giving suitable price. Our demand will automatically give them more price for cotton.
18. Carry the piece of coconut or prasadam in cotton bags. You can not throw away left out food items with cotton bags as is done with plastic bags. Cotton bags are not given without cost. Thus very less garbage and death of animals can be prevented due to the eating of food items with plastic bags.
If you notice any more please put to me immediately. Go for cotton and No to plastic.
