Publisher's Synopsis
Greetings and welcome to "Jholanomics: How Behavioral Change from the Use of Plastic Bags to Cloth Bags or Jute Bags Can Effectively Reduce the Use of Plastic Bags in World Economies." The growing worldwide catastrophe of plastic pollution in the current period requires our attention and necessitates swift response. Plastic bags in particular, which have a devastating impact on our environment, economy, and human health, have come to represent this catastrophe.
This book explores the idea of "Jholanomics," which refers to a radical shift in behavior away from using plastic bags and toward more environmentally friendly options like cloth or jute bags. Jholanomics is more than just a trendy term; it denotes a paradigm change in how we see consumerism, waste management, and our economic systems.
We examine the many facets of the plastic bag dilemma in these pages, as well as the possibility of Jholanomics to provide a solution. We examine the negative effects that plastic bags have on the environment, including their role in ocean pollution, damage to animals, and a hefty carbon footprint linked with their manufacture and disposal. We examine the financial costs associated with the use of plastic bags, including the demands placed on waste disposal systems and the opportunity for employment growth provided by sustainable alternatives.
However, Jholanomics provides a route forward for change, going beyond simple criticism. At the individual, social, and governmental levels, we explore the psychological variables that affect behavior as well as the processes that might promote behavioral change. We look at successful case studies from across the globe that show the efficacy of programs designed to reduce the use of plastic bags and promote sustainable alternatives.
