Maharashtra is, famously, the home of Bollywood, which churns out so many movies at such a breakneck pace that hilariously strange and cliched plot devices are regularly and shamelessly deployed. In the world of Bollywood movies, doves reliably deliver love letters, and the handsome stranger one demurely flirts with on a train ride across Europe will invariably turn out to be the man your Punjabi parents have decided you must marry. So how hard can it be to incorporate plastic bags, and their inadequacy in re transport of coconuts and other goods, in Bollywood movies? Important love letters could get lost due to thin plastic bags, providing a tragic and dramatically necessary impediment to young love ... Heavy objects could fall from a torn bag directly on the hero's tender foot, thus preventing him from making a rendezvous with his amour and forcing her to tearfully marry another.
Really, the possibilities are endless.

Seriously, though, an environmental group here in Chicago has challenged local designers to come up with an alternative.
