According to the Bangladesh Brick Manufacturing Owners Association, Around 7,000 soil burning brick kilns produce around 25 billion bricks every year, consuming over 1.27 billion cubic feet of topsoil. For a country like Bangladesh, whose economy depends heavily on agriculture, this is very bad. Every time topsoil is extracted from a cer tain piece often. It goes barren for at least three years, which means nothing can be grown there during that period. As a result we are experiencing various environmental damage.
