A visual story about soil pollution
Make choices to learn the outcomes. Every decision matters.
Soil feeds us, filters water, and stores carbon.
But it's fragile — pollution and bad practices can damage it irreversibly.
You will face four key decisions. Choose wisely:
A large factory has been operating on the outskirts of a small, agricultural town for decades. While it provides jobs for the community, it currently uses outdated disposal methods, releasing untreated chemical waste directly into the soil surrounding the plant. This is the cheaper option but has started affecting the local environment.
The town council is now debating two choices:
The community can remediate the soil or ignore the damage.
What will they choose?
Contaminated soil can leach toxins into groundwater and nearby rivers, affecting communities downstream.
How do we keep the water clean?
Plants grown in polluted soils struggle to absorb nutrients and can store toxins that end up on our plates.
How do we restore safe harvests?
Your choices shaped the outcome of soil health.
We must act before it's too late. Soil is life.
This choice harms the soil. Try a different action.
