उत्तर

Elders keep on telling that students should not enter into politics, instead should focus on studies and scoring high marks. I have a sincere feeling that life is more than marks. Students can do a lot of services which would certainly make society a better place. Though the state government has banned the use of single-use plastics, it is widely used. Hot sambar curry and tea are packed in small plastic bags. People just use them.

We can generate awareness to all sellers and buyers in places where a large number of people gather that by eating hot things from single-use plastic bags, we are increasing the chances of getting cancer. The plastic covers thrown away blatantly do not degenerate for hundreds of years, it does not allow percolation of rainwater and soon after rain, we suffer from water scarcity. The rainwater runs away and joins the oceans.

We can tell the importance of rainwater harvesting and make farming practices economically viable. During elections, we can campaign for judicious use of voting rights to elect a person who has both the capacity and love for citizens to serve without expecting anything in return. We can also spread hygiene among the masses.
