They adorned trash heaps and trees alike, hanging on the branches like a flag of chaos. And then I saw a rather lovely panaflex asking people to refrain from using plastic bags and had no option but to reflect on the number of times I had seen proud announcements of a ban on such bags.The latest such ban, at least in Sindh, was announced in November last year and was supposed to first be implemented in Sukkur and then in the rest of the province. Banners were put up and shopkeepers were warned but, to no one’s surprise, absolutely no implementation took place. Note also that as per the Sindh Environment Protection (SEP) Act 2014 and its Section 14(3) reads that “no person shall import, manufacture, stockpile, trade, supply, distribute or sell any scheduled plastic product which is non-degradable”. Hunza has also recently banned plastic bags, and one hopes the inhabitants will have greater success in the implementation.I can bore you with figures: in the past 10 years, the world has produced more plastic than in the last century.
One million plastic bags are produced every minute. Half of it is used only once and thrown away. Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times.We have not even spared the oceans, and in a scene out of a nightmare a dead whale washed up in the Philippines was recently found to have 40 kg of plastic in its stomach. More recently, a dead pregnant whale was also found to have ingested 22 kg of plastic.I started with the Rwanda example (Kenya also stands out in this regard) because in the popular imagination, African countries are backward basket cases, not models to aspire to. So when naysayers argue that such a ban would be impossible to implement for a Third World nation, these (and other) examples stand out in contradiction. However, we wish that POCO could have gone ahead and offered the even faster Quick Charge 4+, which is supported as standard on the SD845. The gaming performance is almost as good, if not better than its flagship rivals that cost 3 times more. Add to that dedicated liquid cooling technology and it seems that prayers have been answered for geeks with shallow pockets. MIUI&72 cavity-Preform Mould39;s clever optimisations fused with Android Oreo's system level tweaking ensures an entire day's stamina under moderate usage, including a fair amount of calls, incessant texting, browsing the Internet and social media, light photography sessions, occasional gaming sessions, binge-watching YouTube and streaming music.9 aperture, 1/2. The F1 makes the Snapdragon 845's benchmark performance accessible to the masses that has been reserved until now for the affluent.
