Ernesto Garcia, a farmer and vegetable specialist, dedicates himself to the production of chicuarote peppers, endemic to the San Gregorio Atlapulco area in the Xochimilco district of Mexico City, since he is a child. He says he begins sowing seeds on a chinampa between March and April, and within a period of approximately 4 to 5 months, they reach their peak harvest time, allowing them to harvest different sizes and shades of peppers. Half a kilo of chicuarote peppers costs $35 pesos. Ernesto asserts that one of the threats to the chicuarote chile begins with its growing location and climatic conditions: excess water can ruin the crop, or excessive heat due to humid conditions impacts the chile's growth and spiciness. The presence of some chile predators, such as gophers and insect larvae like ladybugs, also has a negative impact. The chicuarote chile remains a family heirloom because the region's oldest inhabitants are the ones who master recipes that include this ingredient and share them with their children and grandchildren. A characteristic dish of the chicuarote chile is salsa, which can be made raw, boiled, or fried, using onion and a large garlic clove in olive oil, tomatoes, and salt, all ground in a mortar or blender.

Bangladesh became the first country to regulate disposable bag use when the government banned single-use plastic bags in 2002. At that time environmental groups estimated that about 9.3 million plastic bags were dumped in the Dhaka city alone every day, with only 10-15% being put in dustbins. Despite an awareness program warning of a steep fine and six months of imprisonment, after about a year the plastic bags began to excess the market again due to a lack of enforcement. One of the major impacts of plastic bags in Bangladesh is their impact on the storm water drainage system. Plastic bags block drains and waterways, threatening urban environments and creating severe safety hazards. This accumulation of plastic bags on the environment cause deterioration of the landscapes, agriculture soils and it is associated to the death of domestic and wild animals. Landfills or burned each solution is very harmful for the environment. Burning plastic bags emit toxic gases that harm the atmosphere and increase the level of VOCs in the air while landfills hold them indefinitely as part of the plastic waste problem throughout the globe.***FILE PHOTO****
