THE global battle against plastic has taken a draconian turn with officials in Delhi announcing that the penalty for carrying a polythene shopping bag would be five years in prison.
The new guideline means that customers, shopkeepers, hoteliers and hospital staff face a 100,000 rupee ($A3000) fine and possible jail time for using non-biodegradable bags.

I think it's fantastic that India of all countries is taking such a large leap to reduce pollution and garbage. While it is quite drastic, I for one hope that this attitude is adopted by other countries soon.
