Question 11
Paheli was writing a letter to her friend. She crumpled and threw the first draft of her letter on the floor as it had become untidy. Similarly, she crumpled and threw 6 more papers on the ground. In the end, she picked them up and put them in a polythene bag and threw it on the road outside her house.
Do you think, Paheli's action was responsible? What would you have done if you were in her place?
Paheli's action was not responsible. She wasted so many papers and also used a polythene bag to put them which is non-biodegradable. This added to the non-biodegradable wastes.
If I were, at her place, then I would have either used the waste paper for doing rough work or converted the waste paper into paper pulp to make handicraft items or recycled paper.
