Another article describes how land pollution in the form of human waste and chemical dump kill off many things in the soil, sometimes completely (Patterson). There is more than enough evidence to suggest that humans are to blame for the unprecedented environmental state of the planet. It is our responsibility to reverse these actions and begin the Earth’s
