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.
