Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Interviewer : As we are well aware, polythene has become a Major environmental issue. Talking about polythene and the Environment, what is the biggest problem related to polythene? 6

Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Sunil Weerasinghe : The biggest problem is that most types of polythene don’t decay. They accumulate in the environment, and that, in turn, creates many other problems. 7

Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Interviewer : I’m sure our viewers would like to know about these problems. Could you tell us something about them? 8

Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Sunil Weerasinghe : Well, it seems that a lot of people have the habit of throwing polythene bags carelessly and haphazardly into the environment. This often leads to problems like land pollution and land infertility. Polythene also blocks sewage systems and water sources. 9

Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Another problem is that rain water collected in polythene bags provides breeding grounds for mosquitoes. This is really unfortunate. We will be living in an extremely unhealthy environment if such a situation is to continue. 10

Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Interviewer : So, what are your suggestions? Should we stop using polythene? Sunil Weerasinghe : Not exactly. I think we should try to minimize the use of polythene taking reusable bags when marketing is a possible Way of reducing the use of polythene. Recycling polythene is another solution. 13

Unit Four – Act out Grade 11 - English Interviewer : Reduce, reuse and recycle. We should all think about it. With that thought we come to the end of our programme. Thank you for joining us today, Mr. Weerasinghe. 14
