Solution
Human beings are responsible for deteriorating nature. The following activities destroy the Earth:
- Industrialisation:
Industries release poisonous gases into the environment. Solid waste is discharged into land and water bodies, polluting the land and water. - Emission of harmful gases:
Vehicles emit a huge amount of harmful gases that pollute the air. - Construction:
Agricultural lands are used for construction. - Deforestation:
We destroy forests for urbanisation. It leads to the destruction of the natural habitat of many wild animals and birds. - Nuclear testing:
Uncontrolled release of radioactive materials causes several harmful health effects on human beings and animals. We can change it by not polluting the air, water, and land.

49th over, first ball, Kulasekara to Yuvraj, 1 run, yorker outside off, dug out to point, Yuvraj and Dhoni scamper through for a single. Perfect time for Dhoni to hit the winning runs. He deserves to hit the runs. Second ball, Kulasekara to Dhoni, SIX!! India are World Champions! A nation of a billion will sleep well tonight. What a shot to end the game! Yuvraj can’t control his emotions. He is in tears. Sachin runs in from the dressing room and is mobbed. What marvellous scenes in Mumbai! Dhoni got under the length ball and absolutely hammered that out of sight and out of the park. The White Kookaburra soared over the fence. Bhajji too is in tears. 28 years in waiting and the helicopter shot has brought an end to the game.
The finishers of old times Dhoni and Yuvraj, who were popularly called ‘ The Finishers ’ against Pakistan and Sri Lanka a few years ago, took the game closer and a thrilling finish was on the cards. They needed 30 off 30 deliveries when the batting power play became mandatory. Could they do it? They were up against a lethal bowler in Malinga. Just three runs of the Malinga over meant the Indians needed 27 off the next four overs. There were nerves all around, but the two batsmen in the middle looked to be in a different world altogether. Pressure was just a distant relative and they kept their cool to help India romp home with 10 deliveries to spare.
