 Poster: A snowHead
|
Gulmarg - the main ski resort in Kashmir, which has recently completed the world's highest gondola lift - is to become a plastic-bag-free zone.
The national government has banned the bags, due to "an increase in pollution", according to this report from GreaterKashmir.com.

Same in Arc 1800 - you had to buy bags, either paper or much heavier duty plastic. Anti-pollution laws apparently, maybe PG can add something?
