Plz help.....how can i make people understand that "use of polythenes is harmful"...?

Question

how to make them understand that polythenes are not biodegradable....and can cradle serious results.These are nothing but the slow poison for our environment.

Answer 1

A good start would be to tell them exactly how they are harmful.  Generalizations like "they are bad for the environment" or "they are not biodegradable," however, will not do.  You need to explain exactly why this is bad, or at least undesirable (if you can).

Answer 2

i think u should show them!! either burn a plastic in front of them or  put the plastic in a pit(9in peoples presence) cover the pit with soil and then after some days take out the plastic and show to them!! distibute paper bags and then tell them the harms of using plastics!!!

Answer 3

explain to people the consequences of using polythenes

make a website on freewebs.com or a myspace or a facebook about it and get ppl to add you

if not start a club and make it fun and interesting while you teach these ppl about the harmful effects

i'd be best to start a club with young children and make FUN activites for them, have them paint or draw on paper bags and distiribute them to the local market or have their parents use it

make posters of the effects of using polythenes and post them around your neighborhood,

-church

-supermarket

-stores

-schools

-offices

-library

etc

have a dinner party and at the end let your guests have a pamphlet of the harmful effects of polythenes  and an alternative to it.

Answer 4

It's very difficult to MAKE people do anything except get upset.  

One way to try to spread understanding is to write a song, movie, book, or tv series.  Who are the people that need to understand?  Write it for them.
