It is sad that we have become habituated to using polythene bags. In my childhood days, we used to carry cloth bags to the market to buy vegetables. Unfortunately that has gone out of fashion. In college days used to carry a jhola (you still find people in JNU using that). It is a kind of sling which you hang around your neck (for want of better description).

Delhi Government has also banned manufacture and sale of polythene bags. We all should make a habit of keeping a cloth bag in our vehicle, so if you need to buy something then use the bag.
