Composting Incineration

Composting is used to decompose organic waste Incineration is used to burn waste at high
and reduce landfill use. Compost is used as temperature. It reduces the volume of waste and

Conclusion
Pollution is a Growing Problem
The negative effects of pollution are far-reaching
and cannot be ignored. But with the right
strategies, we can minimize its impact on the
environment and human health.
Take Action
By making simple lifestyle changes, like reducing
consumption and recycling, everyone can do
their part towards a cleaner and safer
environment.
