Question

Read the conversation given below and answer the question that follow.

The next time you take printouts unnecessarily or you throw a paper in to the bin, think for a minute as to how many trees have been felled to manufacture it and how much wastewater generated in the process for something you use so often every day. Can you take out some time from your everyday routine and devote it to starting a simple recycling program at your school or your neighbourhood? Not only you would save our planet from the torture of felling greenery, but you would also reduce generation and dumping of waste into the environment.
