Foreign trips seem to be a regular perk of our politicians. If only they could 
imitate the cleanliness and the efficient garbage disposal systems of counties 
abroad, perhaps those trips might benefit the common man too!  Manufacturers 
of water sold in plastic bottles should also be held to account for keeping 
the cities clean as the discarded bottles are an ugly sight and a nuisance 
everywhere. In a country like India where the cow is supposed to be a holy 
animal that is venerated, it is shocking that many cows die due to swallowing 
of discarded plastic bags that wrap around internal organs.
