Part 3
Do you think this law is acceptable to the people?
Yes, I believe that such a law is widely accepted by the general public.
These laws were an
outcome of the efforts of several NGOs and welfare organizations,
along with the increased
awareness of the people regarding the decline of our natural habitat.
Even before any laws
were passed, there were instances where a sizeable number of
people adopted the use of
biodegradable materials. Also, in areas where environmental laws are not that stringent,
people are known to follow an environment-friendly lifestyle on their own accord. Thus, it can
be safely assumed that similar environmental laws are welcomed by the public.
Is there any situation wherein people may disobey the law?
Firstly, it is important to understand that obeying the law is the personal responsibility of an
individual. There are several cases where people intentionally break the rules and cause harm
to society. People of such a nature cannot be reasoned with to become better citizens. There
are instances where people still use and ask for polythene bags even after knowing the
consequences. In some cases, customers are known to squabble with shopkeepers when
refused a plastic bag to carry their groceries.
