<p>Landfills are sanitary designed to reduce the amount of waste leaks in the environment. They provide a controlled environment for waste disposal, reducing the risk of pollution and minimizing environmental impacts.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The 'four R's' approach involves reducing waste through avoiding wasteful consumption, reusing items, recycling waste, and repairing items to make them functional again. This approach helps reduce waste by minimizing waste generation and maximizing waste reuse and recycling.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Overpopulation and overproduction of non-biodegradable materials contribute to land pollution by generating excessive amounts of waste that can end up in landfills, leading to environmental degradation and pollution.</p> Signup and view all the answers
