Description:
Brickfields in Bangladesh have a dire impact on its environment. Use of 'topsoil' found in the surface layer of earth for making bricks is lucrative both for sellers and buyers. But it destroys the earth's surface layer permanently. Such unsustainable practices adversely affect acreage of cultivable land, the flora and fauna supported by it and the ecosystem as well. Chittagong, Bangladesh. 2007.
