Like many other challenges, the best best way to solve problems is to
understand it. This means learning about it (like what you are doing now) is
the greatest step forward. Here are a few other tips on how you can help reduce
land pollution:
1. People should be educated and made aware
about the harmful effects of littering. Discuss with friends and family and
talk about it.
2. Reuse
any items that you can. Items like clothing, bottles, wrapping paper and
shopping bags can be used over and over again, rather than buying new things.
3. Reduce Waste, Re-use things and Recycle things. This is true even for governments. They can also use the three ‘R’ rule to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. After the three 'R's, remember to turn the rest of the garbge into compost.

4. Personal litter should be disposed properly. We can separate household waste at home for recycling. More than half of our household waste could be recycled or re-used but once it is mixed up, it becomes more difficult to separate different components for recycling. This is also true for waste we make at school or hospitals.
5. Reduce the use of pesticides and
fertilizers in agricultural activities.
6. Avoid buying packages items as they will
lead to garbage and end up in landfill site.
7. Buy biodegradable products.
8. Do Organic gardening and eat organic food
that will be grown without the use of pesticides.
