"The improvement in our lifestyle has led to the generation of large amount of waste material." List two reasons to justify this statement.

OR

"The change in packaging has resulted in waste becoming non-biodegradable."

Giving two examples from daily life, justify this statement.

First Part

The statement "The improvement in our lifestyle has led to the generation of large amount of waste material" can be justified by the following two reasons:

1. Change in Attitude (Disposable Culture): Improvements in lifestyle have changed our attitudes, making us prefer convenience. This has led to more and more items we use becoming disposable (such as disposable plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) which are thrown away after a single use.
2. Changes in Packaging: Modern packaging relies heavily on non-biodegradable materials like plastics, bubble wraps, and multi-layered packaging to keep food fresh and appealing, which significantly increases the volume of persistent waste.

OR (Alternative Part)

The statement "The change in packaging has resulted in waste becoming non-biodegradable" can be justified by the following two examples from daily life:

1. Milk and Beverage Packaging: Milk, juices, and other beverages which were earlier distributed in reusable glass bottles are now packed in non-biodegradable plastic packets, tetra packs, or plastic bottles.
2. Disposable Cups in Trains/Shops: Tea and water that were once served in reusable glass cups or clay kulhads are now widely served in disposable plastic cups or plastic-coated paper cups, which do not degrade easily and persist in the environment.
