(a) Avoid using Plastic Bags :
Story/Master with Bag
Children had been whispering mutually for three days. They were curious to know why did the new teacher carry his diary and tiffin in a cloth bag? They have given him the name’ Master with a Bag’. Today, Rana asked hesitantly, “Sir, how beautiful the plastic bags are I but you only bring a cloth bag?”
The Master smiled a little. All students were looking at him carefull. The master started speaking politely, “Dear children, I had guessed from your mutual whispers that you wanted to ask something, but were not asking. I will tell this story but first of all, always keep in mind that never ever hesitate to ask anyone a question. The students who ask questions are the smartest students and they get all kind of knowledge.”
“Yes Sir”, all students speak loudly.
“Well done! You are all very wise, innocent too…” the master continued, “If I want to sum up the talk of cloth bag in one sentence, then I can say that it’s my habit. I keep cloth bag with myself if I have to buy something from market and I never ever take a plastic bag……………”
“Why, Sir? plastic bags are much beneficial, use and throw away….” asked Sukha while standing.
“Children, These plastic bags are very dangerous…!”
“How?” asked Rani kaur.
“There is not only one but many side effects of these plastic bags….” The master began to tell. All students listened in amazement. The master continued the talk, “As Sukha Singh said, use and throw away, first listen to the disadvantages of this thing. They are blown away by the wind and get trapped in the drains. The drainage of water stops. The water stagnates in the street and flies and mosquitoes breed, and this way we get sick.
“You’re right Sir, many days ago there was water in our street like this and the same plastic bags were stuck in the drain…” said Hargun.
“Absolutely! Listen, these bags are sometimes swallowed by animals when we throw away the peels of vegetables and unleavened bread in these bags….”
“What would happen to the animals if they ate them?” Gurleen stood up and asked.
“These are indigestible son, how many animals have died just by eating them. Throwingthem in canals and drains kill aquatic creatures…”
“Really!” all were amazed.
“Sir, they should be set on fire then?” advised Pardeep. Once everyone liked his point.
“But children, when we set it on fire, it emits a lot of dangerous gases, which pollute the environment…”
“Then yes, they should be buried in the soil. Then they will not fly away and block the drains again Also the animals will not get killed by eating these and bad gasses will not be emitted on burning,” said Seerat Kaur.
“You’re right, Seerat! But now listen to the thing about burying these. They do not rot for thousands of years. They remain lying in the soil In this way the fertility of the soil will decrease….our crops will stop growing. These flowers will not grow”
“Oh yes, then you’re right, we will stop using these bags from today…” said several children together.
“Very Good! Very good students! Then tell, how will you bring vegetables, sugar and tea from the shop…?”
“In the cloth bags…” said all together.
“In the cloth bags…” said all together.
“So students! You understand that plastic bags and plastic items including food and drink cup-plates, water bottles etc they pollute our natural resources.”
“Yes, air, water, soil, sunshine are our natural resources and they spoil them” saidGiandeep.
“That’s right! You’ll no longer use these dangerous plastic items yourself and will urge your parents and neighbors not to use it….”
“Yes….” said all the children loudly.
“Sir, listening to your words, I just made a couplet sitting may I recite?” asked Rane politely.
“Tell me, son.”
“ਸਾਫੇ…..ਸਾਫੇ…..ਸਾਫੇ
ਮਿੱਤਰੋ ਅਸੀਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਵਰਤਣੇ
ਮੋਮਜਾਮੇ ਦੇ ਲਿਫ਼ਾਫ਼ੇ…’
“Clean…….clean…….clean
Friends we’ll never use
plastic polythene…….”
