Your father has a small four seater car which is good enough for your family of four. However, both your neighbours have big SUV cars. Your mother often feels bad as her children travel in a small car as your neighbours children travel in a big SUV. She has therefore, asked your father to by an SUV for your family also.

(a) Do you agree with your mother? Give two reasons to support your answer.


(b) Give an example by which you can contribute in reduction of air pollution.


(c) What should government do to reduce air pollution?


(a) No, i don’t agree with her because in my opinion the small car is also serving the same purpose with less cost as large size of SUVs require it to burn more gas i.e. an increase in cost when fueling.

Also, use of more gas lead to negative environmental effect by increasing air pollution and depletion of natural resources like fossil fuels.


(b) There are many small things which can be done as an individual to reduce air pollution. An example of this is going to nearby place by bicycle instead of going by scooter or car and creating awareness about this among our friends, family and neighbours.


(c) Government should ban the non-eco-friendly vehicles and introduce affordable eco friendly vehicles in country. Selling of crackers should not be allowed. Burning of forests and smoking of ciggerates should also be restricted and whoever does so, must be imposed with heavy fine.
