Solution

Burning of leaves can produce smoke which pollutes the air and is harmful to living beings. Dumping the leaves near water bodies like ponds and lakes will pollute the water and cause problems for the aquatic organisms.
Dried plant leaves and husks can be used for the preparation of manure through composting.
