You live near a river. You notice that your neighbours throw all their garbage into the river. They justify their action by saying that the garbage they throw is very little as compared to the dirt thrown into the river by the surrounding factories. Is this thinking correct? Explain.

Solution

No, this thinking is not correct. The contribution of each and every individual for saving and keeping our environment clean is very important. We should try to fulfill our duties towards the environment and lead others to follow them.
They should stop throwing the garbage in the water body and find alternative ways to dispose it.
If they do so collectively, it can bring about a big change. Also they can lead a campaign against these industries to stop putting their waste into the water body.
