Tourism has made great positive impact on the economy of the particular area. But due to ignorance people bring so much destruction to our heritage site.like In Himalaya they throw huge plastic creating so much damage to local flora & fauna also causing speedy glacier reduction rate. So to counter this menace we can put a dedicated counter to deposit all plastics material taken with them to the pristine Himalaya ,must have to deposit at dedicated place .The tourism department should develop a small souvenir on the Cultural/ Natural heritage and given to those people who bring back the plastic waste to show their concern & care for nature and in exchange appreciate them.

I believe if the government of different nations give the chance to the local community to make their own law to control pollution and approve their laws , this will helps as today people have tired to talk about politicians and their government ,
