A friend of mine that's currently traveling through India recently posted this picture on his blog.
Strange place for a sign about plastic bags? Yes, probably. But I'm sitting here laughing because it amazes me that you'd find that sign in the middle of New Delhi, but it's something you rarely see in the U.S.--and especially Chicago.

I love India--the majority of my family lives there and I go back often to visit. It's not the eco-friendliest of places, especially in terms of garbage, though. It's true they, in my experience, eat fewer processed foods, walk more and don't waste trees on silly things like toilet paper. But trash in the streets and, well, everywhere, is a huge issue. And, in general, the environment is not really top of mind there. (I've gotten more than a few blank stares when I tell people there about my green blog.)
So, to see that a huge city like Delhi sees that plastic bags are a problem makes me very happy. Chicago, make mental note to follow in yet another city's example.
