Dear Panditji,

I have learned from your magazine that mines affect the environment very badly and it should be restored after closure. How many mining operations in India actually get restored after closure?

I am a regular reader of Gobar Times. It has been seen that now obesity has become a global problem. I would appreciate it a lot if you could supply me with some information of food and eating habits of the young. I require this information for a school project called The Project Citizen.

Dear Panditji,

Gobar Times is doing better with each month. This one is also very good. But my favourite is the ‘Our gurrglooing rivers’. I know that river pollution is a very grave matter. But you made it so simple.
I love the lifecycle pages. The lifecycle of gold looked so gorgeous! I have a query as well. What are car air bags? How are they important?

Alcohol can be, and is used as fuel. The most well-known alcohols are Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, and Butanol. They are of interest as fuels because they can be derived from biological sources (like cereal grains in case of Ethanol), and they have characteristics that allow them to be used in current engines.

Dear Pandit ji,

I am Abhinav, and I study in class nine. I have a doubt about recycled paper. It is known that recycling is one measure to reduce waste products and save natural resources. But, many people refuse to use recycled products, as they are of cheaper quality.

Dear Pandit ji,

How can plastic bags be destroyed completely? Is it true that storing water in plastic bottles for long makes some of the chemicals present in plastic enter the stored water?
