This is good news indeed and though a small one, it is a step in the right direction. The use of plastic wherever possible has to be reduced by everyone and unless the government initiates bans on plastic use it will be very difficult to limit it.

Our National Parks should impose strict bans on visitors taking plastic bags and bottles inside the parks. We Indians find it very hard to let go of the habit of littering our surroundings wherever we are. In Corbett NP earlier this year I was sickened at the sight of plastic bottles and covers in the forest. To make the matters worse there was a shop selling snack items and bottled water inside the park.

These things have to be stopped in our PAs atleast.
