Going to a superstores once a month is something I look forward.
The stores is a famous one - the first departmental stores in town. It has an enviable location, is spacious and has courteous staff. Its sections on three floors are full of goods. Many people, even men, make it a point to visit it regularly.
The stores has kept abreast of all the latest changes in retail industry. It allots shelf space to particular brands of tea, coffee, honey and other eats. It has promotion schemes every month. The merchandise changes constantly. For every item, many brands are displayed and by reading the labels carefully, one has to really decide.
Many people have the impression that its merchandise is costly. I do not think so. I have recently had occasion to compare its price with that of an established, old type 'kirana' shop. The 'kirana' shop price was well ahead!
In spite of all this, I find that after I come home, our dry garbage can is, within no time, full of plastic wraps and paper cartons of things I have bought. Their volume surprises me every time. Inevitable I suppose for the 'Look and choose' policy of the stores.
I have begun to see a direct conflict between my enjoyment and environment degradation. What to do?
