Land pollution is the degradation of the Earth's surface caused by a misuse of resources and improper disposal of waste. Some examples of land pollution include:
-
Litter found on the side of the road
-
Illegal dumping in natural habitats
-
Oil spills that happen inland
-
The use of pesticides and other farming chemicals
-
Damage and debris caused from unsustainable mining and logging practices
-
Radiation spills or nuclear accidents
Land pollution is responsible for damage done to natural habitat of animals, deforestation and damage done to natural resources, and the general ugly-ing up of our communities. (So stop being a litterbug, eh?)
