A country's government recently passed two laws. Which of the following would have an adverse effect on the environment?

Law 1 - Personal motor vehicles with even-numbered plates (E.g., 2442) can be used only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Similarly, motor vehicles with odd-numbered plates (E.g., 1331) can be used only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. No personal motor vehicles can be used on Sundays.

Law 2 - Lifting the ban of plastic bags allowing their usage for packaging and transportation, and domestic purposes

Solution

The correct option is B Law 2 only
The usage of personal vehicles on alternate days is a strategy to reduce usage and help prevent the depletion of resources like petrol. This also helps avoid pollution. People would have to opt for public transport in such cases, which would foster the effective usage of resources. However, the lift on plastic ban would encourage the use of plastics and cause harm to the environment, since studies say that plastic cannot be recycled.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle which uses two or more kinds of propulsion. Most hybrid vehicles use a conventional gasoline engine as well as an electric motor to provide power to the vehicle. These are usually called hybrid-electric vehicles, or HEVs. Hybrids use two types of propulsion in order to use gasoline more efficiently than conventional vehicles do. Most hybrid vehicles use the gasoline engine as a generator which sends power to the electric motor. The electric motor then powers the car. In conventional vehicles, the gasoline engine powers the vehicle directly. Since the main purpose of using a hybrid system is to efficiently use resources, most hybrid vehicles also use other efficient systems. Most hybrid vehicles have regenerative braking systems. In conventional vehicles, the gasoline engine powers the brakes, and the energy used in braking is lost. In regenerative braking systems, the energy lost in braking is sent back into the electrical battery for use in powering the vehicle. Some hybrid vehicles use periodic engine shutoff as a gas-saving feature. When the vehicle is in idle, the engine temporarily turns off. When the vehicle is put back in gear, the engine comes back on. Some hybrids use tires made of a stiff material which rolls easily and prevents drag on the vehicle. Since hybrid vehicles use less gasoline than conventional vehicles, they put fewer emissions into the atmosphere than conventional vehicles do. As hybrids become more popular, conventional vehicles are being used less, and the level of emissions being put into the air is decreasing. Hybrid vehicles are an example of an energy-efficient technology that is good for both consumers and the environment.
