Snakes in soft drinks for people in Bhatkal and Pythons for Mudubelle. What is this Government up to.......

Plastic bags with a thickness of 40microns or above is recyclable and not biodegradable. Plastic of whatever thickness is non-degradable unless made with d2w oxo-biodegradable additive. So, bags made to the thickness and size prescribed will still lie or float around in the environment for decades, blocking drains and harming animals. KSPCB is not considering other short life plastic products such as plastic using for packaging of eatables, beverages and milk.
The only problem with plastic bags is that they are non-biodegradable, but this problem has now been solved as technologies have now become available which can produce plastic products such as shopping bags, garbage sacks, packaging etc. which are fit for purpose, but will harmlessly degrade at the end of their useful life so, does not harm animals or choke drains.
That alternative is D2w Oxo-biodegradable plastics. D2w additive can be included in normal manufacture by Indian plastics factories without any loss of jobs, and at little or no extra cost.

Karnataka should do what the United Arab Emirates and other countries have already done. Government should legislate to require all short-life plastic products (not just shopping bags) to be made from d2w oxo-biodegradable plastic.

D2w oxo-biodegradable plastic which degrades in the environment by a process of oxidation initiated by an additive formulation, and then biodegrade after their molecular weight has reduced to the point where naturally-occurring micro-organisms can access the material.
For a video of plastic film degrading, visit: http://degradable.net/play-videos/4
During the intermediate phase of degradation in case of oxo-biodegradable plastics fragments are created but the molecular weight of the fragments get smaller and smaller until there is nothing left except naturally-occurring materials such as hydro-peroxides, which are rapidly scavenged by micro-organisms. Using the test methods prescribed by BS 8472, American Standard D6954-04 and EN 13432 it has been shown that oxo-bio is not eco-toxic. Please refer to the briefing note at :
http://www.biodeg.org/files/uploaded/biodeg/briefing_notes/Briefing_Note_OPA_23 Nov 2011(6)(1).pdf

D2w Oxo-biodegradable plastics are intended as low-cost insurance against this plastic pollution, but degradability is not intended as a disposal route as oxo-biodegradable plastics can be recycled if collected.
Life-cycle Assessments by Intertek in 2011 and 2012 put the environmental credentials of d2w plastic ahead of conventional plastic, bio-based plastic, paper, and cotton and jute bags. See :

Vijay, for surfing contact Tushar Pathiyan @ 9986742710. theshakasurfclub@gmail.com or wwwshakasurfindia.com. For Paradise isle contact Joseph’s Cruise @ 9980894798- best time to visit is from November-April. Accommodation is available at Udupi just 10 km away.

Who say’s Industrialists are not behind government formulating policies. Mallya is the man who pushed for FDI in Aviation. He might have sourced finance from his other ventures to ailing King Fisher Airlines but did not do it. Finally he won.

It is as if completing a full circle. Evolutionary theory says that human species were primates. Man might have lived like an animal for many years before being civilized. He has seen all that there to be seen and completing the circle of going back to animal instincts.

It futile to question the Bus driver and conductor. May be more than 5% of goods are transported by these people for a small sum. Auto spare parts, Medicines, Newspapers, fresh flowers etc., are some of the items transported through the bus. Good that the mischief mongers were caught and let off after a warning.

Hi,

We are a group of friends who would be very interested in visiting the club and taking lessons in Surfing if you could please, please provide some details as to where the club is, how to reach, accomodation, room, etc...so that we can plan and come off to surf. I have been bitten by the surfing bug since I was a child. my phone number is 9448244025. Please mail or call me. Waiting for your valued information.

Hi to everybody. It is really bad when rain falls like this nonstop. We heard that there is a place called Paradise Lagoons nearby Kemmanu. Can you pls provide some nformation if this true and if some boating and hotel facility is available in here to see and visit these places in real?

YEDDY IS SAYING HE WILL MAKE KARNTAKA A MODEL STATE IF HE BECOMES THE CM AGAIN AND NEED PUBLIC SUPPORT. YEDDY MADE KARNATAKA A MODEL STATE BY LOOTING MINES AND SCAMS AND NOW AGAIN HE WILL DO THAT IF HE WILL MADE CM ONCE AGAIN. THIS MISTAKE DEAR YEDDY PUBLIC WILL NOT DO EVEN BY MISTAKE. YEDDY WAS THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT BJP TO POWER IN KARNATAKA AND THE DOWN FALL ALSO OF BJP IS YEDDY HIMSELF DUE TO HIS SCAMS AND LOOTING. SO YEDDY SHOULD NOT THINK EVEN BY DREAMS HE WILL COME TO POWER AS A CM AGAIN. EVEN IN THE ELECTIONS BJP WILL BE WASHED OUT CLEARLY.

Wow @ jossy nice one!!

CDS relax, Topless by Indian standards is people without brains......

Air India Express should immediately recruit these express bus pilots.....

journalists are backbone of society they understand the difficulties of the public Mr Richards awareness about the local environment is worth millions. with some of your other activist Kemmannu .com is one of the best media to give the new life to nature Environment and garbage problem of the area. This JCI must put an awareness program a week in and arround Kallianpura instead staging dance and drama for seven days. i am sure people lack knowledge about their environment I was watching the stage show in the evening in front of state bank everything is good but people audience chew pan and someone spit red on my feet in the darkness. during the JCI week the pan beeda shops here in the night make good money please stop the Gudu angadi shops besides the road selling Gutka and cigretts! in santhekatte more shops growing everyday.

It is a fact that more food is thrown into the garbage bin than being eaten in the Gulf countries. No wonder that a illegal immigrants boy in search of food found the bin more to his liking than living in the difficult part of Africa.

Always behind the camera but for a change facing the camera. It is a tough journey for an amateur journalist like Richard. He deserves all the accolades. Congratulations to him. JCI keep up the good work.This world is balanced because of the good deeds done by you and similar like minded organizations.

Congratulations! Keep up your good work. All the best.
