A good source of energy satisfies: It does a huge amount of work per unit mass. It is easily accessible. It is easy to store and transport. It is economical.
Non-biodegradable substances do not decompose easily so it produces land and water pollution. These substances can harm animals, human and can even cause their death if eaten accidentally.

The microorganism like bacteria and other decomposer organisms (called saprophytes) present In our environment are specific in their action. They break down the materials or products made from natural materials (say, paper) but do not break down man-made materials such as plastics. So, it is due toRead more
The microorganism like bacteria and other decomposer organisms (called
saprophytes) present In our environment are specific in their action. They break down
the materials or products made from natural materials (say, paper) but do not break
down man-made materials such as plastics. So, it is due to the property of decomposer
organisms of being specific in their action that some waste materials are biodegradable,
whereas others are non-biodegradable.
What is a good fuel?
A good fuel produces a huge amount of heat on burning, does not produce a lot of smoke, and is easily available.
