Explanation:

• Throwing trash on the ground directly adds waste to the land.
• Choosing plastic grocery bags leads to plastic waste that can pollute land (as plastic is non - biodegradable and can accumulate).
• Leaking runoff from farm fertilizers can contaminate soil (a part of land) with excess nutrients and potentially harmful chemicals.
• Driving a car around town mainly contributes to air pollution (emitting pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides etc. into the air).
• Using plug - in air fresheners mainly affects indoor air quality (releasing volatile organic compounds into the air).
