We heard of an exhibition called Plastindia being held in Pragati
Maidan in our city, New Delhi. Like Alice, we (a group of twenty-two children from six
schools) too were curious. Plastindia? Is this India made of Plastic, much like our barbie
dolls and GI Joes?
The Centre for Science and Environment took us around, and
let us loose. "Please let us work by ourselves", we told them, and that's what
they did. We met ragpickers, manufacturers, recyclers, consumers, journalists, plastic
promoters. Heard every bit they had to say. And now we give you this special edition of Gobar
Times. THIS is what we have to say.
