Plastic pollution in a Srilanka is astronomical. Put some fountains to avoid people using plastic water bottle and ban all supermarket plastic bags. The plastic water bottles left at the entrance of the shops in blazing sun causes plastic chemicals to leach into water. This causes serious health issues. In Srilanka we don’t even check if these bottles are produced with food grade plastics. Even USA has banned plastic bags in supermarkets. STOP RUNING OUR BEAUTIFUL ISLAND, TIME TO ACT.
