Kulhads are disposable cups made of clay. A little thought shows that making these kulhads on a large scale would result in:
Unhygienic of its use
losing the fertile top-soil
large remains collected in environment
choking the sewage line
losing the fertile top-soil
Making clay 'kulhads' on a large scale requires massive amounts of clay, which is the fertile topsoil of the Earth. Excavating this topsoil for mass production leads to the degradation of agricultural land and loss of biodiversity.
Making clay 'kulhads' on a large scale requires massive amounts of clay, which is the fertile topsoil of the Earth. Excavating this topsoil for mass production leads to the degradation of agricultural land and loss of biodiversity.
Think of topsoil as the 'skin' of the Earth that holds all the nutrients; scraping it off to make cups is like removing the skin of a fruit to make a plate, leaving the core vulnerable and unable to grow anything new.
Topsoil is a thin, nutrient-rich layer vital for plant growth. By extracting it at an industrial scale for disposable cups, the natural soil formation process (which takes centuries) is bypassed, leading to irreversible loss of land productivity and environmental instability.
Topsoil contains the essential nutrients and microorganisms required for plant growth.
Clay extraction removes the most productive layer of land.
Soil formation is a very slow natural process, making the topsoil a non-renewable resource on a human timescale.
Biodegradable (if returned to nature without excessive chemicals)
Chemical-free compared to plastic cups
Requires extraction of fertile topsoil
Energy-intensive if baked in kilns
Resource depletion
Traditional tea serving
Eco-friendly event catering
The option 'losing the fertile top-soil' refers to the ecological trade-off of using clay products.
While clay cups are biodegradable, their mass-scale production causes more harm to the environment than the benefits gained from their disposal.
B is correct тАФ Making kulhads on a large scale leads to the loss of fertile topsoil, which is vital for agriculture.
In competitive exams, always link 'disposable' items back to their resource cost, not just their final disposal method.
