Solution

(a) We should prefer using paper bags rather than polythene bags as paper can be decomposed of easily. This reduces the generation of plastic garbage.

(b) Every member of the family - father, mother, elder brother, younger sister- is responsible to dispose off the garbage properly. It is the duty of every citizen in a country to help in proper disposal of garbage. It is our responsibility to dispose off the garbage in a proper manner as improper disposal of garbage causes diseases.

(c) Earthworms are the best organisms to be used for vermicomposting as they convert the waste from plants, animals or their products into compost. They can easily break down biodegradable substances into simpler organic compounds.
