What a most amazing little boy. He puts adults to shame. Two things I hope for him; is that he doesn't worry about the environment to his personal detriment, and secondly that he he is able to have a career where he will make a difference - and I'm absolutely sure that this is more than likely to happen. Then there will be some hope!! -

Amazing young man who has made a big difference as one single individual-if we all took a leaf from his book the world would be a much better place for all men and animals. -

How inspiring that such a young man has such an awareness for this planet and the state it is in. Unfortunately it is rare. Surely he inspires all of us to look at our own lives and to make conscious decisions on how we each can personally contribute to the well being and future of this planet, our home. -

Its good to see this young boy's great initiative and determination to save the planet. I remember that a very long time ago, people used to carry cloth bags to carry their shopping and it caught on even in Germany. There were no plastic bags at that time and hardly any paper bags. Anyone remember fish and chips wrapped in newspapers ? I guess plastic bags were the worst ever invention. I believe Tamil Nadu is a platic free state, it has been for many years and look at the western world. -

Bravo to this young boy who has shown great initiative, courage and determination. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead -

In many parts of the world, you have no choice but to take your own bags grocer shopping. Why cannot we who consume the most, make this change. Or, charge the customer if he wants plastic...see how quickly it will change. When shopping at Walmart and similar stores, the cashier puts one item in a bag...what a waste. If business owners spent some time training their people not to do this, think how much they would save and how this step will reduce the plastic choking our world. We all need to carry our reusable bags - it's easy and what a great difference it would make. If people only became aware of the damage these bags do, they would change.
Ever seen a helpless animal trapped in one of these bags or choking on the plastic.
We can and must do better than this. Thank you. -

If this young little boy can save the earth and love the world , why can't we ? Thank you for reminding us to take action not just keep talking how to save the earth without doing our part . Namaste
