Bus Pass: Revert to old fare

Increase fine on plastic bags
We are well aware of our contribution to the ever-escalating pollution. On June 5th of every year — World Environment Day — we vow to do our bit to protect the environment from destruction. This day, we are all enthused and concerned about nature. But as the next day dawns, we forget our promises and go about our usual business of dumping waste “neatly” in plastic bags, demanding carry bags for each product we buy until the next year’s so called “Environment Day” approaches.
