The government of India has emphasized the banning of single-use plastic which is the biggest source of pollution in the country. The government has intended to ban it in a phase-wise manner. The role of citizens becomes very important in this entire ambitious project and therefore demands active participation. It is a well-settled argument that any government cannot afford to have a blanket ban on single-use plastic. Things that can be replaced are considered such as poly bags, cutlery, straws, plastic spoons, etc. however, the processed food and their packaging is still a big challenge before us. We do not have an immediate alternative to many items in which single used plastic is processed. Further, the segregation of littered single-use plastic is another challenge because littered single-use plastic acts as an obstacle when we try to recycle it. The best solution apart from the ban endorsed by the government is our daily behavioral changes and awareness that can help a lot to reduce this menace to a significant level. This practice would not be new to this country. From the very ancient times, living in harmony with our environment is enumerated in Vedas, Upanishads and the teachings of Indian culture. This paper will explore various ways through which the problem of single-use plastic can be eradicated with the help of community service. It will analyze as to how the Government can rope in every individual in this important task. I will be using a descriptive and analytical approach to study the subject matter.
