Dialogue on Environmental Pollution
Asha: Hey Rahul, have you noticed how polluted our
city has become lately?
Tamima: Yes, Asha. The air quality has really worsened, especially in
the mornings.
Asha: I think it's mainly because of the increasing
number of vehicles.
Tamima: True. The smoke from cars and buses adds a lot of harmful gases
to the air.
Asha: Not just air pollution, even the rivers are
full of garbage now.
Tamima: I know! People dump plastic and industrial waste directly into
the water.
Asha: It's so
dangerous. It harms aquatic life and affects people who use that water.
Tamima: Exactly. And it's not just the rivers—our streets are also
filled with trash.
Asha: Why do you think people are so careless about
the environment?
Tamima: I think many just don’t realize the long-term damage they’re
causing.
Asha:
Education and awareness could help, right?
Tamima: Definitely. Schools and media should teach more about protecting
nature.
Asha: Have you heard about the rise in respiratory
diseases lately?
Tamima: Yes, especially among children and the elderly. Pollution is a
major reason.
Asha: I read that planting trees can really help
purify the air.
Tamima: That’s a great solution. We need more green spaces in cities.
Asha: And switching to electric vehicles can reduce
air pollution too.
Tamima: True. Also, using public transport helps lower emissions.
Asha: What
about plastic pollution? It's everywhere!
Tamima: It's scary. Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose.
Asha: We should stop using single-use plastic bags.
Tamima: I agree. Cloth or jute bags are a much better option.
Asha: Industries also play a big role in polluting
the environment.
Tamima: Yes, they must treat their waste properly before releasing it.
Asha: Do you think stricter laws could control
pollution?
Tamima: They could help, but people must also follow them sincerely.
Asha: So, it’s a shared responsibility between the
government and citizens.
Tamima: Absolutely. Everyone must do their part to protect the
environment.
Asha: Let's start by doing what we can—reduce, reuse,
and recycle!
Tamima: Great idea, Asha. Small actions can lead to big changes!
