Land Pollution

Land pollution often refers to all the things we call garbage such as the packaging from that take-out meal mentioned in the introduction to the leaves that cover the ground every fall. Our "garbage" can be identified as either biodegradable or nonbiodegradable. Biodegradable waste relates to those materials that easily break down over a short period of time while nonbiodegradable refers to materials that do not easily break down. No matter the classification, we create a lot of garbage and it is filling up our landfills. Login information
