Blockage in the drainage system by plastic was the primary cause for the 2005 floods in Mumbai which killed thousands. Severe floods have also affected countries like Bangladesh and Manila due to the clogging of plastic bags in the drainage system. Plastic bags were banned in Mumbai and Bangladesh after these floods
Deteriorates the flora and fauna of both the river bodies and the land
Production of plastic bags requires a large amount of energy which is derived from depleting natural resources.
Clogs sewage system and causes serious environmental disruption
The plastic bags mix with domestic waste streams, clog soils, choke drains and finally pollute the environment.
The flash floods taking place in metro cities are due to clogging of drainage systems by plastics bags.
Incineration of plastic causes emission of harmful chemicals causing cancers and respiratory diseases

Put the Green Garbage Bag in a dry kitchen bin
Use one bag per day
Drain excess water/liquid before throwing waste in the GGB
For large bin, use a liner before placing the GGB. Dispose the GGB without the liner
Ensure air flow for natural drying of GGB
Do not throw through concentrated wet mass. Make small pieces to distribute the load
