Land in our Biosphere
Land in our biosphere is the solid foundation of Earth’s surface, encompassing mountains, forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, and farmlands. It provides habitats for countless species, stores nutrients essential for plant growth, and serves as the basis for human activities like agriculture, construction, and recreation. Land also plays a critical role in regulating the water cycle, carbon storage, and temperature balance, making it an indispensable element of life on Earth.
Reduce and Reuse: Minimise waste through recycling, composting, and reducing consumption to prevent landfills from overflowing.
