Dear Raman
I am fine and hope the same for you. I have read a poem and want to share the ideas with you. I have found that there is a problem with single-use plastic garbage. Daily we use and throw away single-use plastic items. It becomes plastic garbage.This plastic garbage travels to oceans, seas, rivers. It creates harmful pollutants. It harms our Earth.
So, if we want to save our Earth, we should stop using single-use plastic. We should use paper and fabric bags. I hope you will agree with my ideas.
Your friend
Gurmukh Singh
