Despite ban, plastic adds to city’s pile of waste

Mysuru:  Humanity’s relationship with plastic is rather schizophrenic.

It is present in almost every aspect of modern life — from water bottles to aircraft. Without it, our lives would not be the same. However, it is now considered an environmental evil because of the havoc that plastic waste wreaks. We see it on our streets, in our rivers and lakes, on our beaches and even in our deepest oceans.
