The introduction of disposable cups was hailed as a step forward for reasons of hygiene. No one at that time had perhaps thought about the impact caused by the disposal of millions of these cups on a daily basis. Some time back, kulhads, that is, disposable cups made of clay, were suggested as an alternative. But a little thought showed that making these kulhads on a large scale would result in the loss of the fertile top-soil. Now disposable paper-cups are being used. Using items made of biodegradable materials because can be recycled do less harm to the environment as compared to other non biodegradable items like plastics which cause damage to the environment.
