Every day we buy or use many products which are made of plastic like plastic bottles, wrappings, bags etc. Therefore, most of the plastic items are not disposable so it remains on the earth through soil or ocean for many years. Plastic pollution has a great impact on climate change and the life cycle of many animals. But we can control it by social awareness.

Every student should have a creative hobby & here is why

Photo by Steve Johnson from Pexels What is a creative hobby? We all are already introduced to the subject of hobbies. Everyone has his/her own definition of a hobby and we all probably have one or more hobbies at this point. But, one thing students should be aware of is that having a creative hobby is crucial. A hobby can be both creative and non-creative, both productive and non-productive. Before choosing a hobby or starting to practice one, a student must ensure that his/her chosen hobby is going to be both creative and productive.

Have you ever went to beeches to see the waves of the ocean ? Have you ever seen the sunrise from a hill ? Have you ever experienced sunset sitting beside on the beach ? Travelling takes us out of our comfort zone and daily scheduled routine and it inspires us to see, taste and try new things in life. It not only gives us inspiration but also challenges us to adapt to and explore the surroundings of the world. One can learn to embrace adventures through travelling. Travelling works as therapy for most of the people as they get the sense of relaxation from their hectic life.

Between the two cities, Dhaka and Chittagong, there are buses that travel directly. You ...
