And on the same day I came upon the announcement that Indian Railways was trying to revive a switch from plastic cups to the traditional kulhads (clay cups) in trains and train stations. Which is presumably another still-born attempt at greenwashing, given the logistical challenges of procuring clay to village potters, producing millions of kulhads every day, delivering and storing unstandardised cups, and figuring out how to recycle them. Not mentioning that firing and carrying these cups also has an ecological impact. Better start a campaign of bring-your-own-cup (which I tried to impose for a few conferences, mostly unsuccessfully!)
