Question 37.
a) Ban on plastics
Why Plastic Should be Banned :
Answer:
Introduction :
Plastic bags, though useful in many ways have proved to be extremely hamful to the environment due to one single reason – they are non – bio degradable, which means they ‘ do not decompose easily making their disposal a huge challenge. Our soil takes almost 5000 years to decompose one plastic bag. Burning them also does not help as it releases poisonous gases into the atmosphere. Despite its extreme harmful effects, plastic bags are extensively used today because they are light weight, convenient, durable and economical.

Plastic bags are the hash one pollutants of land and ocean. Banning them would mean that we will forever be free from the extreme damages it causes on our environment. Our lands and oceans will have a lot less litter in them. The adverse health effects it causes on humans, animals and marine life is irrevocable.

Banning them will tread us on a much healthier journey. Plastic bags are manufactured using petroleum and produced in quantities of trilions per year. Such huge volumes of petroleum can instead be directed towards more important basic necessities like automobile fuel.

Banning plastic will mean that we will have to find a more organic material as an alternate. A well known alternate for plastic bags are paper bags. The commodity paper is extensively used today and hence is already under mass production, causing a huge toll in our environment by the number of trees being cut down for this sake.

Now introducing paper bags will only adverse this. In the case, introducing any other organic material as an alternate for such an extensively used product will only mean a greater depletion of the already minimized natural resources.

Conclusion:
We can either look at the cons of banning plastic bags as a problem or opportunity. On realizing the need, the problem of having less natural resources can turn into an opportunity to create more natural resources by planting more trees.

Such a way that plastics have become an inevitable component in our day to day life. Plastic bags have shops or vegetable shops. But, the actual scenario is, instead of making our lives easy, these plastic bags are the root cause of various issues like environmental pollution, illness in humans and animals, etc.

Karnataka SSLC English Model Question Paper 4 with Answers (2nd Language)

Problems of using plastic bags :
The plastic bags that we rely on for our every purchases at every store are perilous for the environment. The problem of using plastic bags is much more serious than it actually appears. Various studies report that these plastic bags are the major cause of water pollution. Additionally, these plastic bags make our fertile agricultural land highly infertile by occupying the underground and avoiding the uptake of minerals by the plants.

The increased use of plastic bags makes the disposal of them a herculean task. As plastic is not biodegradable, it takes almost 5000 years for the degradation to take place. The plastic bags can clog our waterways and is also a very harmful toxin for the aquatic life. Plastic bag wastes cannot be even disposed of through incineration as the process releases harmful gases that can deteriorate the atmosphere.

On a large scale, plastic bags should be banned as they can be dreadful to wild and marine life as well. Many times, these bags are mistaken for eatables by birds and animals. The plastic, which is consumed sometimes, this could even lead to the death of these animals by suffocation.

Above all, there are some external costs linked to these plastic bags. In addition to the costs linked to the production and buying of these plastic bags, there are other costs, such as :

  • Environmental costs
  • Resource extraction
  • Resource depletion
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Economic loss.
  • Wildlife loss

Conclusion: Plastic bags are banned in most of the countries globally. However, we must understand that mere ban can never help to sort the hazardous effects of the plastic bags. It is f high time that we realize the importance of our precious environment and avoid things that can degrade our environment. So, let’s go green and healthier life

Karnataka SSLC English Model Question Paper 4 with Answers (2nd Language)

Use of Internet for the Teachers : Internet serves as a place for knowledge sharing for the teachers. Teachers around the world can interact with each other and exchange ideas via internet. This is a great way to learn and evolve the methods of teaching.

Online teaching has also given way to numerous job opportunities for these professionals. Many teachers give up on their profession after their marriage owing to the added responsibilities while many others do not take up teaching owing to lack of opportunity in their vicinity.

Online coaching has proved to be’a boon for such teachers. It allows them to deliver video lectures from their own place. This has only been made possible with the help of internet.

Use of Internet for the Management: The management of different educational institutes around the world can interact by way of internet.

Online coaching has also benefitted the students who do not have access to good educational institutes in their vicinity. There are many towns and villages in the country that do not encompass institutes for the preparation of competitive exams such as JEE and NEET. Online coaching is a great help for such students. They can prepare for these exams from the comfort from their home rather than relocating to a different place or giving up on their dreams.

Conclusion
Internet offers several uses but its contribution to the education sector is simply impeccable. It has actually redefined this sector.

c) Environment
Answer:
Environment means all the natural surroundings such as land, air, water, plants, animals, waste, sunlight, forests hnd many other elements. An healthy environment maintains the nature’s balance as well as helps in growing, nourishing and developing every living and non living things on earth.

In modem times the man made technological advancement has made it possible to exploit natural resources to the maximum limit. This unbridled exploitation has gravely endangered the natural equilibrium of the environment. In fact life on earth is endangered to such an extent that the future of our planet, the only habitable planet in the universe, is endangered. The existence of life on earth in future is questionable.

Environmental degradation means disturbing the natural equilibrium of nature including atmosphere hydrosphere and lithosphere. Besides the natural environment; a man made environment exists which deals with technology, work environment, aesthetics, ‘transportation, housing, utilities, entics etc.

This man made environment has adversly affected the natural environment to a very great extent. Therefore there is a drastic and urgent need to save our natural environment. This can be only done by not challenging our natural resources but to use them judiciously and sensibily, we have to conserve our natural resources, that our future generations can also have access to them.

We should stop wasteful use of natural resources, stop polluting our environment, so that we and our future generation can live a peaceful and healthy life on earth. The Government, media, educational institutions should play an enormous role in generating environmental awareness among children, youth and people in general students should be familiarised about environmental issues and encouraged to cultivate, investigative and think. They should be encouraged to acquire problem solving skills in various environmental problems.
