<![CDATA[
      A friend of mine that's currently traveling through India recently posted <a href="http://adamjadhav.com/2009/10/30/enemy-no-1-in-delhi-plastic-bags/" target="new">this</a> picture on his <a href="http://adamjadhav.com/2009/10/30/enemy-no-1-in-delhi-plastic-bags/" target="new">blog</a>. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />
      <span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><div class="pkg has-caption embedded-image left" style="width: 250px;"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/practically-green/assets_c/2009/10/henna-thumb-250x187-27940.jpg" title="henna.jpg"><img alt="henna.jpg" src="http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/practically-green/assets_c/2009/10/henna-thumb-250x187-27940.jpg" class="mt-image-left" width="250" height="187" /></a><p class="caption">My mom has crazy awesome henna skills. </p></div></span><br />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 <a href="http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/practically-green/2008/05/toilet-paper-do-you-really-need-it.html" target="new">toilet paper</a>.
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.)<br />
<br />
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.<div><br /></div>
