3. Had your state government ever make rules / ban regarding reduction of use of single use plastics like polythene, thermocol plates, plastic cups/glasses before?Did your state govt try to enforce the ban in the past?Is the state trying to enforce any such plastic ban now?Are you suffering at your work place or residence due to society's poor solid waste / plastic waste management (litter)?Measures should be taken to reduce the use of single-use plastic items If plastic is recycled, there is no need to reduce my use of itIf plastic food packaging reduces food wastage, that justifies its increased useI have no control over how much of plastic I/my family disposeUsing own container, mug, reusable bags etc to avoid plastic use should be done by all.Any special remark?I have no problem as long as plastics are disposed well and creates no litter

4 2 YesYes, some times2 4 3 4GovernmentA potential solution is to encourage everyone to use reusable items instead of single-use plastics. Schools and communities can organize awareness programs to educate people about the environmental impact of plastic.
3 4 YesYes, always4 4 5 4GovernmentA good solution to cut down on single-use plastics is to use reusable items, like cloth bags, metal containers, and glass bottles.
