Solution

In this picture, we see a number of chimneys emitting smoke. These buildings may be factories or mills. There are green lawns and few trees found in this picture. We also see a number of vehicles on the road. The smoke from the factories and vehicles creates air pollution and noise pollution. There is a water source and dumping of garbage is found in the lower part of the picture. The garbage will make the water polluted. Water is already scarce in our towns. We must take serious remedial measures against air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution to save our environment. We must promote eco-friendliness in young minds.
