What is the Matter with Pollution!?

Introduction

Oil spills, smoke from factories, and litter. These are all forms of pollution. Not only does it effect us, but the animals too. Thousands of water birds can fly because of oil spills. They also die because trash suffocates them. We can't eat fish due to the amounts of mercury. Even the ozone layer is thinning. The thing is, it is our fault that this is happening. It is us that are killing the environment. Sometimes, without even knowing it


Opinion

Pollution is wrong. Seriously, why would anyone want to destroy the place they love. Why would anyone want to destroy their home? Pollution also kills. On dosomething.org it states,"Pollution is one of the biggest global killers, affecting over 100 million people. That’s comparable to global diseases like malaria and HIV." It is bad enough that pollution destroys everything, but it's even worse that we also get killed by our own actions. Have you ever heard about pollution in our water? The thing is, there is only so much we can drink. However, it can harm us,too. Livescience.com states"Worldwide, more than 500 million people drink water that could be harmful to their health." Surprising,right? Even though we need water to live, it can hurt us.

Final Thoughts

I hate pollution. I just don't believe it is right. Killing ourselves and other things is not cool. What do you think? Answer this in the comments below.
