" The Amendment Rules will also require the thickness of plastic carry bags to be increased from 50 microns to 75 microns from September 30 and to 120 microns from December 31. " India. The only country in the world that thinks that more actually equals less. India will never achieve this goal of banning single-use plastics by 2022, because, India. A country that uses fucking DABERWALLERS, or however you spell it. Cram a billion people into a relatively small place, and have them piss and shit into a river they bathe in, and you get nothing productive out of it.
Clean beaches cost money. I used to go to Cape May, NJ Every night they sift the sand on the beach with a rig that probably costs $150K, maybe much more. (New Holland Agricultural tractor + 3pt hitch implement). They were using two sets of these, obviously to complete before sunrise.
That's the way the whole country is. Along side of the streets is just hills and hills of trash and everyone going about their lives like it's normal. And the only difference between them and us is that we have the resources to put it all into one area and recycle some of it. And we don't even do a good job of that either. I'd much rather see someone littering a glass bottle or a piece of paper than littering plastic.
$150K huh? ++++++++++++++ India begins process to buy 114 fighter planes at 15bn USD in world’s largest deal The deal -- valued at more than $15 billion -- has attracted initial offers from global defence majors, including Boeing Co., Lockheed Martin Corp. and Sweden’s Saab AB. By Bloomberg India moved a step closer to inviting bids for the purchase of 114 fighter jets, currently the world’s largest deal in play, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks to boost the capability of the country’s armed forces and replace an aging combat aircraft fleet. The deal -- valued at more than $15 billion -- has attracted initial offers from global defence majors, including Boeing Co., Lockheed Martin Corp. and Sweden’s Saab AB. At least 85% of production has to be in India, according to an initial document issued more than a year back. Modernising the country’s defence forces is critical for Modi, who hardly signed any new major arms deals during his first term, even as twin threats from neighbouring China and Pakistan loomed. A Pakistani F-16 jet downed an aging Soviet-era MiG 21 -- Indian Air Force’s mainstay -- in a dogfight during a military confrontation earlier this year. Evaluation Begins The evaluation of initial bids and finalising the Air Forces’ requirements has begun, junior defence minister Shripad Naik told lawmakers in parliament. India is also drafting initial documents to purchase tanks and armoured vehicles, as well as asking foreign shipbuilders to show interest to manufacture submarines in India, he said. ++++++++++++++++++++ I don't even need a pencil for this one... That equals 100,000 New Hollands with beach cleaning implements. I bet they could get a package deal too. Ahhhhaaa... lets just keep an eye on Pakistan.
We Swedes are excellent at being pacifists and selling weapons at the same time, hope the India deal goes through.
Well, the only surviving Swedish major car manufacturer is owned by China these days, so... Though they keep around research and production here, for now. TBH they are better owners than Ford that nearly killed the company, probably a case for long term view versus by quarter capitalism. We do got one truck manufacturer that's still independent though.
