The Earth is a beautiful place
where humans are provided with
everything that they could use in
order to survive. They are
surrounded with materials that they
can utilize in order to supplies our
basic needs. But some changes in
the materials maybe useful to the
environment while others are
harmful.
When the material is dumped
with garbage of any kind
such as empty bottles,
plastics, toxic waste, and
chemicals from factories, and
other establishments, the
land becomes polluted.
 Polluted land serves as breeding
places for flies, cockroaches and
rats. These pests carry germs
that causes diseases that is
hazardous to one’s health.
Growing plants is not possible
in a polluted land.
