2. Let us see what Joey has to say about Plastics.
Hi Joey! What do you think about Plastics? Hello. Yes. They are pretty convenient and easily available. Are you aware about the pollution caused by Plastics? Yes. I see about that a lot on Social media. Are you taking any steps to reduce the pollution like recycling or reusing? No. I don’t know much about what I can do about it. If you’re given education on recycling, would you do it? Not really, what is in it for me? Besides, I don’t have time for all this.
