A lot of dry leaves are collected in a school garden and burnt every day. Do you think that it is right to do so? If not, what should we do to dispose off the dry leaves?

No, burning of the leaves is not the right thing to do. Burning causes air pollution. Burning of leaves leads to smoke formation that contains harmful gases like Carbon monoxide and even particulate matter.

To dispose dry leaves, one can compost them. Composting is good for the soil and doesn’t cause any pollution.
