In an attempt to make people more environmentally conscious, Andhra Pradesh is raising anti-plastic awareness by offering free vegetables for returned plastic bottles and bags at one of the Rythu Bazaars in Tenali in Guntur district. Consumers would get free vegetables of the same weight as the plastic waste they return.

Tenali MLA Annabat-huni Siva Kumar and municipality officers launched the programme with the barter system in effect at one of the four Rythu Bazaars at Burri-palem Road on Thursday and Friday. Siva Kumar said that the exchange offer had good response the past two days.

Tenali Municipal Health officer B.V. Ramana said the campaign against ‘single-use plastic carry bags’ had led to traders no longer selling those bags.
