Solution

Explanation: 3 Marks

Both the friends are doing wrong activity which is against the life of soil. Polythene bags and plastics pollute the soil. They also kill the organisms living in the soil. When plastic is thrown in soil it makes soil less fertile and plastic bags slowly release toxic chemicals that certain animals use as a resource. Also, when plastic is burned they release toxic chemicals that are deposited in soil.
