About "Paper or Plastic: What will you go for?" topic:

This is a common phrase "Paper or Plastic" that we are confronted by more often these days, as everybody is talking about green.  We have seen even hard core environmentalists stumble when asked this in the retail store line, even they get confused. As paper & plastic is the most used interms of packaging in various industries and where for Paper trees are cut and if one uses plastic then it is a non-degradable substance.

No, I don't think the research will truly help to solve the plastic problem. The reason is that the plastics that will be recycled will become second generation plastics to recycle them it is impossible. And the second generation plastics will...

Rajendra Singh Butola  |  Argues in support of  "Increase customer base maximise profit"  |  1 year ago
its only the wide customer network which leads to maximise the profit in long and term.
Ramesh shirolkar  |  Argues in support of  "Increase MRP maximise profit"  |  1 year ago
It is always customer driven, depending on referrals and time bound service.
Shailena Varma  |  Argues in support of  "Increase MRP maximise profit"  |  1 year ago
Hi Javed, interesting debate......... In my point of view price alone will not increase the profit. A customer looks for the quality first and then price. If your are producing the best product among your competitors then increasing the MRP will...

Today I read these three diferrent news story related to environment. 1. Desert geopark in China : What is a geopark ? Geopark is a place where rare geological landforms are preserved in an undisturbed state and where low impact recreation, scientific research, and educational activities can be pursued. The total planned area for this geopark is said to be 630.37 square km. It will be functioning as a museum as well as as scientific research center. 2. World Car free day : On September 22nd 200 cyclists celebrated World Car Free day by using cycles. This was an attempt to keep traffic jam and pollution at bay. Though the event went almost unnoticed and no similar effort was seen anywhere else. I wonder why do such news go unnoticed when certain channels are busy showing what do star eat and how thye go to the gym and what do they wear. I was surprised to see zero comments in the article where I read this news. I wonder what kind of news do people normally look for? 3. Britan will...

Dear friends,        I am a science fiction writer. I dabble in indian fiancial systems too. Primarily my lure and love for science is more than anything i am interested in. To many science fiction may appear flights of fancy or fantasy. To me it is not so. My science fictions all have science as ingredient with a future speculation/theory.       Many science fictions have become realities. Take the case of moon travel. Jules verne foresaw journy to moon and wrote his science fiction "From the earth to the Moon". Arthur C.Clarke wrote about geostationary satellites.      Simply put, Science Fiction is science blended with fiction. It requires a special imgaination and scientific bent of mind to come up with a science fiction. A science background is essential to write science fictions as one has to grasp the nuances of science to enlarge on the ideas conceived.      Science fiction has come to be accepted as a literature by itself. It is dubbed as a literurate ideas with current...
