Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 2

Pollution can be reduced by joint actions as well as individual actions. There are many ways we can protect our earth and reduce waste. One such method is composting. Composting is the process of breaking down the organic matter in the presence of air and water, using microorganism and small insects present in our environment. The end product can be used as manure for the plant. It helps in forming healthy soil. Another way can be using unleaded petrol can be used in cars, as petrol is free from toxins found in leaded petrol. Unleaded petrol is completely safe and non-polluting.
