Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The different kinds of packaging materials include plastic bags, thermocole sheets, foam sheets, paper bags, etc. All these packaging materials are used to protect the household articles, food items or other goods when transported from one place to another.

(b) Packaging of food-items, gift packs, chocolates, toys, clothes, shoes, etc., can be reduced.

(c) Unnecessary packaging is a serious issue that increases the amount of garbage. When we open a package, we use the things packed inside it while the packaging material is of no use and we throw it. Sometimes, people throw the packaging material on streets and roads which becomes difficult to dispose of. This causes environmental pollution as well. Sometimes, these packaging materials go down the drains and block the flow of water. This causes the problems arising due to stagnant water. Thus, packaging definitely increases the amount of garbage can cause difficulty in its proper disposal.
