Question 3
Which of the following activities does not reflect responsible behaviour with regard to waste disposal?
(a) Goods carried in paper bags or cloth bags.
(b) Waste collected in polythene bags for disposal.
(c) Waste separated into those that degrade and those that do not.
(d) Making handicrafts with used up notebooks.
Option (b) is the correct answer.
Waste collected in polythene bags for disposal does not reflect responsible behaviour. This is because polythene bags are non-biodegradable. They do not decompose in nature on their own. Also, they are eaten up along with garbage by cattle, thus causing harm to them.
