Let’s end the plastic crisis

This is with reference to the article “Let’s end the plastic crisis” by Ayesha Fatima (YW, October 26). The article effectively discussed the harmful impact of plastic bags and single-use plastics on our environment, wildlife and human health.

The writer’s emphasis on the need for immediate action and sustainable alternatives, such as bioplastics and reusable bags, resonates deeply in today’s context. This article served as a valuable resource for raising awareness about plastic pollution and inspiring action.

Wonder craft: Footstool

This concerns the “Footstool” in the Wonder craft section by the Crafter (YW, October 26). There is no doubt that in almost every household, there are empty cardboard towel or foil rolls that are typically discarded. The footstool crafted from these empty rolls turned out amazing!

It is not only handy for kids but also adults. I really appreciate The Crafter for creating such wonderful projects, and I hope to see more in the future. This innovative approach to crafting showcases how simple materials can be recycled and transformed into a functional footstool.

The tale of a lady’s finger

This is regarding the story “The tale of a lady’s finger” by Farheen Farwa (YW, October 19). It was a humorous piece that highlighted the common struggle of children disliking vegetables, using Muaz’s interaction with the talking lady’s finger to convey valuable lessons.

The story effectively demonstrated the effort involved in growing food, encouraging readers to appreciate the hard work of farmers and avoid food waste.

The grandest relation of all

This concerns the cover story “The grandest relation of all” by Benazir Raz (YW, October 12). The writer beautifully explored the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, emphasising that time spent with grandparents is invaluable, as many children miss out on this love and wisdom.

The article taught us the importance of respecting and listening to our grandparents, who offer valuable insights from their life’s experiences. Their support and guidance can have a significant impact on us, and we are fortunate to have them in our lives.
