The Old Farmer and His Sons
An old farmer worked hard all his life. He became weak with age. He wanted his three sons to live together happily after his death. But his sons were not in good terms with one another.
They had always been fighting. So, the old farmer thought that their enemies may destroy them, by taking advantage of their bad relations. He was very worried about their future.
The farmer wanted to teach them the lesson of unity by giving an example. He called all his sons. He gave a single stick to each of his sons and asked them to break it. They broke it easily.
Then, the farmer gave them a bundle of sticks and asked them to break it. One by one, each of his sons tried to break the bundle. But, they could not. Even his eldest son, who was the strongest of all brothers, failed to break it.
Then, the old man said, "My sons, you have seen that a single stick can be easily broken, but not a bundle of sticks. Similarly, if all of you live together, your enemies will never be able to harm you." The three sons of the old farmer promised to stay together in future.

Though the harmful effects of plastic on wildlife and human health are well-documented, the versatile material is hard to avoid. Nearly everything we touch, from shopping bags to drinks bottles to food packaging, contains plastic. Now, Amsterdam's Ekoplaza supermarket is making it a little easier for consumers to reduce consumption of single-use bags and containers, which are clogging our landfills at alarming rates, with a dedicated plastic-free aisle. Believed to be the world's first, it features seven hundred products, including rice, beans, yogurt, chocolate, milk, cereal, snacks and even meat. While items still require packaging, everything is housed inside reusable or recyclable containers made of glass, metal, cardboard, and a compostable plastic-resembling biofilm material. The unique idea was proposed to the grocery-chain officials by UK-based environmental group A Plastic Planet, which is leading the charge to advocate for at least one plastic-free aisle in supermarkets around the globe. The non-profit has even created a signature "plastic-free" mark to help consumers identify eco-friendly packaging. "This is a consumer-led campaign," said group co-founder Sian Sutherland. "We're a grassroots organisation. So obviously we're working with industry, and we're working with the government, but most importantly, we represent the public."
Ekoplaza, which plans to roll out the plastic-free aisles across its 74 stores by the end of the year, is not the only company trying to reduce plastic waste. In Berlin, the Original Unverpackt grocery store has been trying to change customer habits since 2014 by selling everything, from grains to produce and even lotions and soaps, in bulk. The supermarket, which requires customers to bring their own reusable containers, even carries chewable toothpaste that eliminates the need for a tube. Though it is encouraging to see companies trying to make a difference, for real change to happen, consumers have to lead the charge by shunning products encased in the polymer, even if it means giving up their favourite food or drink. As Sutherland succinctly put it, "Plastic food and drink packaging remains useful for a matter of days yet remains a destructive presence on the earth for centuries afterwards." This is a small step, but it is a step in the right direction. Global levels of plastic in the seas, oceans, rivers and lakes is terrifyingly high and presently on the rise. With more samples being taken around the world, the global scale of the blight of plastics is becoming clear.
