KATHMANDU, Dec 18: As winter sets in the city, the pollution levels go up. We have witnessed very high levels of pollution in the last few weeks.

The most easily available objects in the town may be plastic bags. You enter home with vegetables wrapped in these bags. You see them littering literally every inch of Kathmandu’s space. They are there in the piles of garbage and if you have looked into Kathmandu’s rivers after the heavy rains, you must have seen a sea of plastics floating. So is the case with other major towns and emerging marketplaces across the country.

A Dutch Environmentalist has shown her concern for the environmental pollution in Nepal. During her visit to Nepal, Environmentalist Maanit Jaaulo focused on sharing knowledge on non-bio-degradable wastes like plastics.  She is a consultant for the Netherlands based RVO Company. She stated that factories should be operated without causing environmental pollution.
