Pollution - Car - Building
Air can be polluted in many ways, especially from traffic, airports, and concerts. Did you know air can be polluted inside or outside? Something crazy is cigarette butts are among the biggest causes of fires on beaches. Cigarette butts cause pollution to the air. Also, trees help us because they breath in dirty air and give out clean air. Next, dirty water from houses and factories go to the river and that is called water pollution. Noise pollution is caused by human activity. Did you know outdoor pollution threatens millions of lives and the health of people? People should try to stop making a lot of pollution because it hurts the environment.
Litter...A Major Problem
Litter can end up anywhere! About 51million pieces of litter end up on beaches, sidewalks, roads, and parks. When you litter on the beach, a piece of trash could hurt sea animals. When you litter bags, they go to the ocean and any animal can get hurt, but especially sea turtles. When a sea turtle sees a bag, it thinks the bag is a jellyfish and it tries to eat it. Then they run the risk of choking or the may even die. Did you know about 90 percent of Americans litter? When you litter, and it goes into the river, it can hurt swans and fish. Every 12 minutes, litter starts a fire. Did you know that about 7 out of 10 pieces of litter are food related on streets? People should stop littering because other people have to pick it up after them. Also, it is causing a major problem to our environment and animal life.
