Like all things hip, even I decided to go green. The supermarket nearby has started charging 2 rupees for plastic cover for your veggies and groceries. So today I told them I have a bag proudly. I even go one step further. Unlike other shoppers, when I pick vegetables and fruits, I do not put them in small plastic covers (which are not charged) But after carrying the bag till my scooty, I realized that the bag is little too heavy and it may not withstand the weight. I transferred 3 apples to another plastic bag which the metal shop person had given and which already had 10 steel glasses and 2 glass bottles. The bigger bag, I secured in the box under the seat.
And I came home feeling really happy about how I am doing my bit about environment. I stopped the vehicle in front of my house. There are two more apples on the ground. I was pleasantly surprised. There are not apple trees any where near by. (In southern India, apple does not grow!!) Has it started raining apples? I thought I will immediately inform TV9 channel. Then I saw even a glass bottle which looked similar to the one I bought today. Aha, they have dropped from my bag which of course must have got torn.
I did not exactly turn red, as there were not many people around. I might have turned black, because I realized I lost one apple.
I really did not notice them tumbling down. Asother old people say I am not as alert as I used to be.
Luckily for me, the glass bottle has not broken. Nice bottle (nice because it is inexpensive and I DO need one to keep the pickles on dining table)
But do not worry, I am not a bit discouraged and will continue to be a green person. May be next time I will carry a real strong bag. Or even better, I will sew a bag from one of my old dresses and take that for shopping.
