Write a letter to the Editor of an English daily about the problem caused by the use of plastic bag.



To
The Editor,
The Telegraph,
Kolkata—01.

Sir,
       I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me a little space in the columns of your highly esteemed daily so that I may ventilate my opinion to draw the attention of the concerned / due authority about the problem caused by the plastic bags. 

Of late, the plastic bags have shown a great problem in our sweet world. Some years ago, the bags made of paper or jute, were used. But now plastic bags are being used to carry food, vegetable, various necessary necessities. The main problem is that they neither discompose nor decay. Even they cannot be destroyed by burning. If they are burnt, it will cause pollution. Also these are not good for our health. These plastics prevent the seed to fertilize. So, now the boon of science has become a curse to us. 

I , in view of all these, think that the due authority should take necessary steps as early as possible to solve this problem, otherwise the public grievance may, at any time, lead to a dire consequence. 

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Prasenjit Mondal
