Land is the foundation of life. It gives us food, shelter, forests, and minerals. But today, this gift of nature is suffering because of human carelessness. Land pollution is one of the greatest problems of modern times, caused mainly by garbage, plastics, chemicals, and industrial waste being dumped onto the earth.
When waste materials are thrown carelessly, they spoil the beauty of nature and also harm living beings. Plastics do not decay for hundreds of years, poisonous chemicals enter the soil and water, and piles of garbage spread disease. Cutting of trees and careless mining also damage the land, leaving it barren and lifeless.
The effects of land pollution are serious. Fertile soil loses its richness, crops are affected, animals lose their homes, and even humans fall sick. If not controlled, it can disturb the balance of nature and threaten future generations.
The solution lies in our hands. Proper waste management, recycling, planting trees, and reducing the use of plastics are small steps that make a big difference. Each citizen must learn to keep the land clean and respect the earth as our mother.
Land is a precious heritage. To protect it is not only our duty but also our responsibility towards those who come after us.
