Answer:
20. Environment Unfriendly Polybags
By: Amarjeet, Staff Reporter
The National Herald
21. In the year 2002 the government had banned the production and use of plastic bags in our
country. But unfortunately, these are now being widely used again everywhere. Not only are
we using a huge number of polybags daily but we are also discarding them in our drains
uncaring about the fact that they will block the flow of drain water. Polybags are also a
threat to our environment. They cause pollution, kill wildlife and are responsible for using up
 the natural resources of the earth. They are one of the main factors that litter the landscape.
If burnt, they will infuse the surrounding air with toxic fumes.
22. The main problem of plastic bags is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition of
plastic takes around a thousand years, so with the plastic rubbish produced each day it is
likely that this problem will never be solved. While the government works out ways to lessen
the impact of polybags on the environment each one of us too should shoulder some
responsibility for this problem that ultimately harms us all.

Answer:
91. Pollution Check Causes A Mess
By: Priya,
92. 12, M.G. Road, Adayar, Chennai 26th August, 20xx, Chennai: The traffic police has
recently launched a special drive against the pollution causing vehicles. This has created
more confusion than relief. It has led to traffic jams and crowds at important intersections.
The traffic constables have gone into overdrive by putting barricades and conducting
checks on pollution. These barricades, put up by the police, create heavy traffic snarls
especially during the peak hours. Traffic congestion is a problem for commuters who are
invariably delayed in reaching their destination. The police need to restrict their drive to lean
traffic hours. This way they will be able to carry forth their drive against pollution without
causing inconvenience to the commuters.

Time for a Power Cut Again!

by Many a, XU C
Talking about Ghaziabad specifically Burgeoning population, booming industries, sprawling
malls; all these have one thing in common—they guzzle electricity. Till now, the government has
been providing them the much-needed power by cutting down electricity meant for households
and villages but for how long?
Unfortunately, power supply has been limited in contrast to our demand which know no
boundaries. Till the time government works out a long-term solution in terms of nuclear energy, we
as responsible citizens should make the judicious use of electricity. Here’s a slew of measures that
can be taken.
Switch off all lights, fans, coolers, ACs and geysers immediately after use. One must avoid
unnecessary and extravagant display of lights, especially on marriages and other functions.
Everyone must make optimum use of sunlight by using solar lamps, geysers and coolers.
Moreover, light fixtures must be kept clean and dirt free so that there is no wastage of power. As
citizens of a responsible country, theft of electricity should be prevented and pay electricity bills
regularly.
Pledge together to SAVE ELECTRICITY NOW.
Remember, it’s now or never!

Chennai: 6th April, 20XX: While driving towards the office, the commuters get engulfed with

After Chennai was included in the list of cities with the highest air pollution in India, the authorities
