Let’s minimise the use of polythene

Polythene is useful because it is very light. Many people bring polythene bags to the shops. Some people make kites from polythene. It is very strong and good to paste kites. Polythene can be used in many ways.

But, we have many bad effects from polythene. Some people throw polythene bags with rotten food to the road. Stray dogs eat the food with polythene bags and they fall sick and die. Some people burn polythene, and it emits poisonous smoke. When people inhale this smoke, they fall sick with respiratory diseases.

If we stop using polythene, we can build a good country. Let’s use paper bags instead of polythene. Let’s protect our beautiful country.
