“Because normal human activity is worse for nature than the greatest nuclear accident in history.” Martin Cruz Smith. Pollution has been found to be present generally in the environment. The most common form of pollution is land pollution basically produces by the trash, which shows the quantities of chemicals and bad stuff thrown on land. People across the globe have been facing a number of health problems caused due to the pollution of land, water and air. Talking about land pollution, it has some of the most devastating effects on both nature and living beings. Land pollution is described by the impurity of Earth's surface, where humans and other creatures live. One of the major causes of land pollution is human activities.

Anything humans do that result in the weakening or damage of a piece of land, in terms of its nutrients, landscape, and uses in general its ability to support life forms is land pollution. Land pollution is typically caused by the disposal of solid and liquid waste. Land pollution can come from the solid waste, pesticides and fertilizers, chemicals deforestation, agricultural sources i.e. ashes, mining sources, treatment of sewage, garbage or waste, construction sources, oil refineries etc. This has consequences to human health, plant and soil health as well as indirect effects on the water table and environment.

On individual level we can do certain things for the cleanliness of our earth. What we can do is to dispose the wastage properly, don’t ever try to throw any wrappers and garbage on land try to throw it in dustbins, there should be a proper recycling system in every country and its cities either developed or under developed country the recycling system should be proper, in underdeveloped countries like Pakistan the infrastructure/ roads are not constructed with proper methodology and there is not a good sewage system like developing countries where the infrastructure and the sewage system is designed in a proper way which helps to control the land pollution.

In this scenario it is very important to control this issue of land pollution to secure our environment, the most effective way of preventing land pollution is to educate people and give them awareness regarding land pollution, reuse any item that you can, personal litter should be disposed properly, look out for the pesticide free products as much as you can, and last but not the least government can take a step regarding the land pollution which comes in any of the further types; it can make a proper method of recycling especially in Pakistan ( because in so many countries this method of recycling is already applicable and people are almost aware from this) and can aware people how to dispose the garbage and other products.
