Answer:

Environment Unfriendly Polybags

By: Amarjeet, Staff Reporter
The National Herald

In the year 2002 the government had banned the production and use of plastic bags in our country. But unfortunately, these
are now being widely used again everywhere. Not only are we using a huge number of polybags daily but we are also
discarding them in our drains uncaring about the fact that they will block the flow of drain water. Polybags are also a threat to
our environment. They cause pollution, kill wildlife and are responsible for using up the natural resources of the earth. They
are one of the main factors that litter the landscape. If burnt, they will infuse the surrounding air with toxic fumes.

The main problem of plastic bags is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition of plastic takes around a thousand
years, so with the plastic rubbish produced each day it is likely that this problem will never be solved. While the government
works out ways to lessen the impact of polybags on the environment each one of us too should shoulder some responsibility
for this problem that ultimately harms us all.

performed in front of a live audience and were also watched by millions of people across the globe. They displayed their
talent in the fields of music and dance. Their performances left the judges, the audience and the viewers enthralled. I am
sure it also touched the hearts of many.

An outstanding sequence, in which wheelchair-bound boys and girls performed ‘Bharatnatyam’, left the audience spellbound
and got a standing ovation from the judges.

It was most touching to see these children performing with such perfection despite their handicaps and their zest and
enthusiasm added an extra touch to their performance. I strongly feel more such shows should be telecast so that more

were seen running wildly, some in search of their dear ones and others to ensure their own safety.

I stood they are dumbfounded, almost paralysed with fear as my parents helped an old couple who had sustained severe
injuries in the blast. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the horrific sights that then met my eyes. I am

against the pollution causing vehicles. This has created more confusion than relief. It has led to traffic jams and crowds at
important intersections. The traffic constables have gone into overdrive by putting barricades and conducting checks on
pollution. These barricades, put up by the police, create heavy traffic snarls especially during the peak hours. Traffic
congestion is a problem for commuters who are invariably delayed in reaching their destination. The police need to restrict
their drive to lean traffic hours. This way they will be able to carry forth their drive against pollution without causing
inconvenience to the commuters.

counsellor and personality trainer conducted the workshop for the development of students’ communication skills.

Through multimedia presentation, along-with an animated and energizing speech, she stressed that for rising in any field of
career, communication skills play a very important role. After attending the one hour workshop I understood that this was
bound to prove most beneficial to the students who had attended it. They were sure to gain a lot of valuable knowledge that
