Question

India today is facing the problem of overuse of resources, contamination of water and
soil and lack of methods of processing the waste. The time has come for the world to
say goodbye to "single-use plastics". Steps must be undertaken to develop
environment-friendly substitutes, effective plastic waste collection and methods of its
disposal.
Indore treated 15 lakh metric tonnes of waste in just 3 years, through biomining
and bioremediation techniques. Bioremediation involves introducing microbes into a
landfill to naturally 'break' it down and biomining involves using trommel machines to
sift through the waste to separate the 'soll' and the waste component. The city
managed to chip away 15 lakh metric tonnes of waste at a cost of around Rs. 10
crore. A similar experiment was successfully carried out in Ahmedabad also.
(a) State two methods of effective plastic waste collection in your school.
(b) Name any two uses of "single-use plastic" in dally life.
(c) If we discontinue the use of plastic, how can an environment-friendly substitute
be provided?
(d) What steps would you suggest for the judicious use of fossil fuels? ​
