Why are roads bad for the earth?
Nowadays, roads are mainly made of concrete. So... 1. When it rains, water seeps into the soil [normally, with mud roads] But since concrete does not allow water to seep in, the groundwater level is also affected, since we only take the water from underground, never recharge it. 2. Roots of plants need air. So if roads are built nearby the tree will die. 3. Microorganisms under the soil are also affected.
