    Reading Comprehension- 2

    Read the passage carefully and answer the given questions-

    1. Being eco-friendly is in vogue; a large number of people are emphasizing the use of
    ecofriendly products, whether on the ramp or at home, thereby doing their bit to
    protect the environment. “Eco- friendly products are those products that inflict
    minimal or no harm to the environment. Made of natural elements, these products
    are not only safe but also add an artistic dimension to one's home.” explains CK Nair
    of Homestop.
    2. The products are made of environment sensitive material such as recycled wood,
    dead wood, recycled paper, bamboo, jute, natural fibre and natural or organic cotton.
    Grasses like sabai grass and vetiver can be woven to make mats, screens, bags and
    baskets. Old textiles can be used to make recycled paper, which can be used for
    packaging, lampshades, notebooks and other stationery. Recycled plastic can be
    used for making containers and furniture, says Minhazz Majumdar of The Bamboo
    Store.
    3. Though there’s been a lot of awareness about using eco- friendly products, it is still
    not the first thing that people look for when buying things for their homes. Eco-
    friendly products not only stand out in their looks, their durability is also high. “The life
    cycle of these products can be up to 50 years,” says Majumdar.
    4. There are many other benefits of using eco- friendly products; by using these
    products, you can help decrease pollution, the destruction of forests and other
    ecosystems, and the amount of waste sent to landfills. A simple and more effective
    way to live an eco-friendly life is to either take public transportation for your daily
    commuting needs, or try pooling in with your office colleagues to save fuel and
    reduce your carbon footprint.
    5. In addition to this, eco- friendly products are better for your health, as they don't
    contain any harmful chemicals that can irritate the skin or eyes. Another benefit of
    using green products is the peace of mind that you’re helping to make the planet a
    clean and safe place to live not only for your generation, but for generations to come!
    6. Growing an eco- friendly product community is getting easier. There are more and
    more community gardens, swap meets and farmer’s markets that make it easier for
    an entire community to actively participate in eco- friendly activities.
    Answer the following questions briefly:
    1. What are eco- friendly products?
    2. What are the benefits of using eco- friendly products?
    3. Why eco- friendly products are considered environment friendly.
    4. How are these products good for our health?
    5. Pick out the word from the passage, which means ‘fashion’.
    6. The word in the second paragraph which is a synonym of ‘reprocessed’ is –
    7. The word in the 5th paragraph which is an antonym of ‘soothe’ is –
