JEE Main · 2019 · 08 Apr 2019 · Shift 1 · Environmental Chemistry

The question asks which habit works against protecting the environment. Restricting vehicle use cuts emissions, composting returns organic waste to the soil, and avoiding needless floodlighting saves energy, all responsible choices. Using plastic bags, by contrast, adds non-biodegradable waste that lingers for centuries and harms wildlife, so it is the practice that is wrong from the standpoint of environmental responsibility.
