Dialogue
Rima: Shikha, look at the drain. It is completely blocked with plastic bags.
Shikha: Yes, Rima. Plastic pollution has become a serious problem in our country.
Rima: Why is plastic so dangerous? It looks so light and harmless.
Shikha: Because plastic does not rot or decay. A plastic bag stays in the soil for hundreds of years.
Rima: So the soil becomes polluted and crops cannot grow well?
Shikha: Exactly. Plastic also poisons the soil and the water.
Rima: What happens to the plastic we throw into rivers and the sea?
Shikha: It floats in the water, and fish and sea animals eat it and die.
Rima: That is terrible. Do we also suffer from plastic?
Shikha: Yes. When we burn plastic, the smoke harms our lungs, and when food is wrapped in plastic, tiny plastic particles enter our body.
Rima: I see plastic bags everywhere — in the bazaar, in shops, even in our kitchen.
Shikha: That is the problem. We have made plastic a part of our daily life.
Rima: What should we do to stop plastic pollution?
Shikha: We should stop using plastic bags and carry jute or cloth bags instead.
Rima: What about plastic bottles and packets?
Shikha: We should reuse them and never throw them on the streets. They should be collected for recycling.
Rima: Should the government also take action?
Shikha: Yes. The government has already banned polythene in some places, and shops should be fined for using it.
Rima: Let us start from ourselves. I will tell my mother to use cloth bags for shopping.
Shikha: And I will take my own water bottle to school instead of buying plastic bottles.
Rima: Small steps from everyone can save the earth from plastic.
Shikha: Yes. Let us say no to plastic and yes to a clean environment.
