Question

after learning about the hazardous effects of land pollution, nicholas would like to do his part in reducing land pollution. what should he do?
purchase a case of plastic water bottles
choose plastic bags at the grocery store
discard cardboard in trash bins
wrap gifts with a paper shopping bag

Explanation:

• Purchasing plastic water bottles contributes to plastic waste which is a major source of land pollution.
• Choosing plastic bags at the grocery store adds to non - biodegradable waste that can cause land pollution.
• Discarding cardboard in trash bins instead of recycling it is not an environmentally friendly practice (though cardboard is more biodegradable than plastic, recycling is better for reducing waste).
• Wrapping gifts with a paper shopping bag is a more sustainable option as paper is more biodegradable and can be recycled more easily compared to plastic - based wrapping materials.

Answer:

wrap gifts with a paper shopping bag
