I know I was hit in the face with such harsh realizations when I went to Haiti some years ago, and I was brought back there by reading you blogs. <BR/>Thank you so much for sharing these amazing moments in India with us.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721553104027301859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275119076340291748.post-24699861176188829972008-06-19T12:18:00.000+05:302008-06-19T12:18:00.000+05:30Actually, I was listening to NPR the other day and...Actually, I was listening to NPR the other day and there was a very interesting story on about the cows in India. Apparently, they're put there on the street daily by a governmental crew, but recently they've begun dying at a rapid rate. Upon an autopsy, they found the cows were finding little bits of food in plastic bags around the city and eating the whole thing, bag and all, and subsequently starved to death due to a lack of room in their stomachs. This promped a law to be made saying that no plastic bags could be used that were less than ten microns thick, so then the cow would pass them instead of having them linger in their stomachs. Unfortunately, most people don't know how thick a micron actually is, so thinner, cow-killing plastics are still widely used in India.<BR/><BR/>And that's my India knowledge of the day.
