WATER POLLUTION
BY: Madie Dunn
Water is one of the most valuable resources we have on these planet. We use it to stay hydrated, to clean things, and it's even in some foods. But, if our water is being contaminated, we could potentially be killing ourselves by doing something so simple as drinking water. Our water is being polluted with toxic chemicals because of our own actions. If we don't start to prevent this, there will be no fresh water left.
This is what our rivers, lakes and oceans look like because of the pollution we have caused to water
Dirty water is the worlds biggest health risk
Water pollution doesn't just effect our health, but the health of those having to live in the water
Fish, birds, and wildlife depend on clean water just a much as people do
