Scientists Urge PM to Address U.S. Ban on Indian Leaf Dinnerware

Imagine plates and cups made from leaves, like the ones you might use at a picnic!

Scientists in India are worried because the U.S. government has stopped allowing these leaf plates into the country.

They say the U.S. thinks something in the leaves might be bad for your health.

These scientists and experts say this isn't true and want the U.S. to change its mind.

They've asked India's leader to help.

They say this ban hurts Indian farmers and businesses who make these eco-friendly plates.

They want the U.S. to prove its claims and help Indian companies meet any safety rules.

They're also calling for a new study to prove these plates are safe, so the world can keep using them.
