Pollution is a big problem in our days. And I think that’s because consumers were becoming too lazy. Let take an example of human being, nobody walks 15 min to a close store, almost everybody will drive to it, so as result that is an air pollution. Or how many turn off his computer during the night? Or how many check, when grass is watering, if it’s enough water and maybe to turn it down? I think, the answer is going to be only a few. Our environment is very polluted and there are a lot of viruses, many kinds of sickness witch 5-10 years ago nobody heard about them.

Today’s world there is a lot of air pollution coming from cars, airplanes, motorcycles and factories which causes global warming and health issues for humans. Not only that but waste pollution from plastic is becoming more and more every day. The United States leads both in pollution even though they are only 5% of the world population. This has become a huge issue especially for the Americans who constitute to 25% of the world’s CO2. The car companies have tried reducing this by inventing green cars such as the hybrids which have a little electrical motor combined with the other one. These cars get better gas mileage than others but right now not everyone can afford them because they are fairly new. A rise in gas and oil could lessen the pollution but that would not fix the issue of fuel for transportation. The second issue is waste such as plastic. Some throw away their garbage made from plastic on the streets; this harms the environment and the animals. Therefore recycling is very important to keep the earth clean and reduce harming the environment. For example I recycle my own used bottles of coca cola. However we can right now prevent hurting our environment by cutting back on things like; leaving the car on while waiting for someone or bike/walk instead using car every single time. When removing forests for farms or urban sides this is called deforestation. We can protect forests by checking on other countries and planting trees every time we take out one.

consequently simple people should ask to pay government their attention to that to oblige corporation to try to equip the industrial bases the filters and not to pollite environment.I would like that in our city the public passenger transport developes more.From garbage it is possible to make special fuel for buses.Trolleys and electromobiles do not pollute air,and people will be healthy,and these main riches for the person after all we cannot buy it for any money.

Now the big problem in the world is pollution. We have to solve it. If all people in the world give the hands, I think we will make the planet better. I could do some things to help prevent pollution. For example, I sign up for paperless all the bills. That means we can save the trees to keep the planet greener. In addition, trees make the air cleaner. Also, it helps to stop global warming up. Moreover, one more thing I think it could help prevent pollutions too. When I go to the market to buy food. I only use recycle bags, it helps to produce less waste to the planet. Today the most important problem with pollution is air pollution. It comes from varieties source. For example, smoke comes from cigarette smoke, cars, factories, forests fire…etc. It causes worse pollution. Factories are responsible for the pollution because when they create one product for the market, they need to consider about it. For example, the factory of the cars creates a new car. They have to examine it, how it saves gas, drives more miles, makes less smoke, uses longer time…etc. Every product from the factories make, it involves pollution in different ways. I think recycling is important because resources in the planet are limited. We need to recycle them, it helps us reproduction, and it makes less pollution too. In my home, I usually recycle papers, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, batteries, oil engine of the cars…etc. Moreover, we can help the environment better. For example, now we encourage to all people to use electric cars, solar power, wind power, electronic billing..etc. It can help the environment. Everybody knows about climate change. What reason does it change? I think, the forests in the planet are decrease. It makes global warming up then we have more flooding, drought, landslide…etc. That is the main thing for to protect forests. We can plant more trees for forests than we harvest trees from forests. We protect forests also forests protect us too.

Pollution is the most important problem in the whole word. Air and water pollution are the most common problem today. Air pollution is inside homes, education buildings, offices, and outside in cities and villages. Many people have breathing problems from air pollution. Also, air pollution harms many animals and the ecosystems in which they live. The forest is the filter that helps clean up dirty air on the Earth. Increasing the quantity of forest plants and trees on the Earth’s land can help a lot with air pollution. Water is very important to life for everybody. Water pollution can kill many fish and other animals that live in the water. People that use and drink polluted water can be sick. Air and water pollution results in the environment having materials that destroy human health and quality of life. Pollution is usually caused by human actions, and also can be the consequence of natural disasters. Pollution can be caused by the garbage that people throw on the ground or into the water. People need to pay more attention to the environment and stop pollution. Everything that we do to harm the environment is also harming us.

We have three or more different types of pollution: Air, Water, soil and other living beings. Pollution damages the Earth and that caused by humans’ actions. We drove cars or track and other equipment which caused Air pollution. The exhaust from these contains carbon monoxide, nitrous and gaseous oxides. This type of air pollution creates smog which causes health problems and holes in the ozone layer, which increases the exposure to the san’s harmful rays. Also factories, office buildings, homes and other types burn fossil fuels, which cause air pollution. Water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water. There are several types of water pollution; toxic substances which is chemical pollutant. Many factories, refineries and treatment plants damp pollutant water to the rivers, lakes and oceans. Soil pollution came from toxic, radioactive materials and chemicals. The most common soil pollutants are hydrocarbons, have material, herbicides, pesticides and oils

I think we can help pollution get better by slowing down alot of thins such as not useing the car as much and not littering because littering doesnt just effect our land but effects animal in the ocean and on la we are bnd as well but little do we know it we also get effected by pollution it is said that it can give you canser by inhailing the polluted air. you can do your bit by walkling to place to place if it is walking distance and dont litter be cause we do share the world with other nations and they get affected by pollution as well. If we keep going on the way we are going we are all going to die because the ozone layer will burn away to nothing.

Pollution is one of the biggest problems of the modern world. What can we do to prevent pollution? Not much. We can recycle materials that have a long period of decay. But is not a big deal. Great is the responsibility of governments. Governments should make laws to stop pollution. Large factories should be refurbished. But the most important thing in my opinion is that people are aware of this danger. If each of us will be aware of this danger, we will treat it with more responsibility. Personally, I watch with concern, how much paper is consumed without any sense. Now, when the internet is so widespread, we could save paper. If we save the paper, we save the forest. If we save the forest, we will have more fresh air. If we have more fresh air, we will be healthier. If we will be healthier, we will spend less money for medicine. And we'll be happiest and more optimistic. Between everything we do, and our future is a close relationship. It's up to us to do things that, assure us a better future.

Air pollution presents big environmental threat in many parts of the world. Air pollution includes variety of different harmful chemicals and gases released from our vehicles and our industrial facilities that make our air dirty. Vehicles are the biggest source of air pollution, and in some Asian states like India and China life in some cities is almost unbearable because of tremendous air pollution resulting from cars.

Earth has a diverse environment but nowadays our planet faces major climate changes. The air pollution and warming from carbon dioxide cause global climate changes and can lead to disasters as melting ice and rising sea level, floods and extreme weather changes. Severe storms, hurricanes can become more. If we don’t start making important designs how to prevent pollution, the worse predictions can come true. If everyone asks himself what can we do to make the world better place, we can make some lifestyle changes,that will change and improve our environment we can use less energy and save both many and help to save air from pollution. More efficient hitting and cooling in our houses, alternative energy sources, open windows can be good choice for your household. We can reduce our carbon footprints buy walking to nearest grocery store, instead of using car and spending gas. Recycling is another useful and beneficial choice for everyone who is concerned about global warming and climate change. We also should be informed about new technologies and more efficient cars, that will decrease the amount of gas we spend and make a long term benefit to you and your family. Perhaps, these lifestyle changes seem week against huge problem as global climate change. However, decreasing your carbon footprint and using more efficient energy sources can make a big difference in one’s life and if everyone feels responsible for his or her part we can make this world a better place. We don’t have any other choice if we want to live in this beautiful world.

The effect of air pollution is not good for your health. The smog and chemicals in the air get in to the lunges and make it hard to breathe. For example air pollution can also be a safety problem this happens a lot in big cities like Los Angeles where there are a lot of cars. The effect of water pollution is not good for your health. All living things need water so if water is pollution and it gets in to the body the chemicals in the water can damage the health of the organism one big problem with pollution these days is the oil spill in the gulf. The oil in the water has killed many fish and damaged there homes. Many animals have become sick including humans from eating other sick animals and drinking pollution water. Also clean up the oil spill is very expensive. The effect of land pollution includes littering, the trash at the dump, and the chemicals thrown in to the ground. The effect of land pollution is infertile soil that can not grow any plants or provide for the organisms that live there. The trash at the dump is a problem because the debris does not disintegrate. This kind of trash and takes up a lot of land.

Pollution is a major problem concerning the entire world as people become more an more aware of the damage they have caused to The Earth during centuries. While humanity was going thru a rapid development, the environment was declining almost as rapid. Levels of pollution are very high today, not only from waste disposed of improperly, but also from unwise use of nature's resources like water, woods, and energy.

I think that to prevent pollution we can make separate trash can bins for plastic, paper and other trash. That way it will be easier to recycle. Also I think that if oil spills occurred , less than the ocean will be less polluted and less animals and fish would be trapped in the oil. If factories had less gas coming out the world would be also less polluted . I think that it s very important to recycle because it we don’t the world would have trash everywhere and we wouldn’t be able to life here Also the plants won’t grow and the water would be polluted . When its then to throw a out the trash, I separate the water bottles from the other trash and recycle them . I want to help out the environment too.

Today , many activities contribute to air pollution. We have air pollution from cars, factories, and power plants. If we want to prevent pollution, we should drive less. Driving less doesn't mean you have to stay home. Try combining driving with alternative modes of transportation . Here is a list of things that can help to make the world a better place: 1.Carpool 2. Walk or ride a bicycle 3.Shop by phone or mail 4. Ride public transit 5. Obey the speed limit 6. Tune up your car and support the smog check program 7. Don't top off at the gas pumps 8.Replace your car's air

Pollution is a big factor that influences the climate of the planet Earth. Pollution can be avoided if people drive less, factories stop burning so much fossil fuels and everyone needs to recycle more. Pollution is a big problem today because many people do not care about it. And that is why people do not recycle. And of course factories are responsible for most of the pollution today. And that is because they not always meet the requirements the government puts on them. They burn a lot of fossil fuels and dump the waste they produce into a near by ponds. Recycling is an important factor in preventing pollution. I recycle soda cans and plastic bottles. Another way to decrease pollution is to stop deforestation. Trees suck in CO2 humans produce and turn it into oxygen. So we need to speak up to stop deforestation and think more about our future and future of our children.

Pollution is a very big problem today for us.The air,water and soil all over the world polluted.This pollution affects not just the health of humans but and others alive things in our world.The most damage to the air have cars and lorry fumes.I thing it is more important to make more cars that have a gibbered engine.Also oils spills pollute sea water and kill marine life;chemical waste from factories and sewage works pollute river water,killing wildlife and spreading disease.I thing each lieder of the each countries of the world should thing how to resolve this problem.Also each person of the world should take care about.Because it is depend from us how clean our planet will be.Humans create such a lot of litter!There are a many ways to help our environment.The first at all don't drop rubbish on the streets.We should sort out our rubbish.Organic matter such us left over food,tea leaves or potato peelings can be drop to a compost heap and used us natural fertiliser for the plants.Glass bottles,aluminium cans and newspapers should be dropped to recycling cans.We also should use recycled paper to help save trees,because trees are very important in our lives.I think it is not possible to live without trees,because trees clean air and give more acigane.Also we should take care of animals it is hard for them to live in our times!It is the big global problem pollution of environment and we should help our planet and hope we could save it!

Environmental protection is an important problem worldwide. Man consumer uses the natural environment,every single day. People got use to pollute the world around them. And for example the United States has been characterized as a "throw-away society." At a rate that is at least twice as high as any other industrial nation,U.S. citizens purchase an enormous amount of goods and then throw them away. Every day,people in the United States produce over 430,000 tons of garbage. That's about four pounds of garbage per person per day! Second most important problem is pollution of the oceans and seas by oil. Tankers accidents have accounted for most of the world's largest oil spills. So,what can we do to make our world better place to live? First of all "to avoid littering",then when we have camping trip we always clean up after ourselves. Second,"we need to recycle." Recycle paper,glass,plastic,cans. This should become our habit. We need to teach our kids that the earth is our mother and we need take care about it. If men spit upon the ground they spit on themselves. This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. We must respect ourselves,nature and the environment around us!

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms.Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants, the elements of pollution, can be foreign substances or energies, or naturally occurring; when naturally occurring, they are considered contaminants when they exceed natural levels. Pollution is often classed as point source or non point source pollution. The Blacksmith Institute issues annually a list of the world's worst polluted places. In the 2007 issues the ten top nominees are located in Azerbaijan, China, India, Peru, Russia, Ukraine, and Zambia.

Every day, many people throw out plastic, steel, batteries and hazardous waste in garbage. This is a big problem because this material stays underground, and then it can pollute the natural water in the ground. The government should give more money for recyclable material, and the government should put boxes to collect recyclable material everywhere. Many people throw out recyclable material, like bottles, in garbage because it costs a little money. People don’t want to collect recyclable material because it takes more space. Also we must change oil only in service centers. We must check cars in service stations. If cars have problems, we must fix them before we take them to the road. God gives life to us and we must save nature.

Nowadays, pollution is the problem number one in the world. We have two pollution problems in the entire world these are ocean pollution and air pollution. The ocean pollution became even greater than air pollution,in around the world. That's because people mostly use non-safe environmentally products for their gardens. Another problem that have cause pollution is we're not recycle our used motor oil and filters, and also paper and plastic. The solution of pollution problems is in everyone's hands. To reduce ocean pollution we have to use environmentally safe products. Many pesticides have safe, chemically-free organic alternatives. By using non-toxic pesticides,you can reduce the amount of dangerous chemicals that flows into the ocean. Also if you recycle your used motor oil and filters,plastic bags and paper, you can also reduce the chances of ocean pollution. If we are want to have better place to live in,for us and our children we have to keep clean our Earth.

Pollution is a very popular topic today in America and other countries. Governments and scientists work very hard today to prevent air pollution, or at least warn people and give them tips on how to decrease air pollution. I personally think the main reason why we have so much air pollution and such bad air, is mostly because of our cars we drive. The fuel we use to gas our cars is not clean, like natural gas. Gasoline, and diesel we put in our cars, makes the air thick with wastes and chemicals our cars release into the air. Also because big cities don’t have a lot of trees growing, that makes the air even more pollute. Trees help clean the air, by releasing clean oxygen into the air. I think to decrease air pollution we need to start using clean natural gas, or start driving hybrid cars. Also we would need to plant more trees in big cities, to make the air cleaner and breathable. I don’t think factories are responsible for air pollution, at least now, they used to be, but now factories use filters and all kinds of technology, so they wouldn’t be responsible for air pollution. We have to save our trees that still grow in our cities, and plant a lot more, because they help clean our air. We should encourage other people to plant and grow trees in our cities. Also we should choose our cars when buying them, and buy cars that cause less or no air pollution at all.

Pollution became a big problem now days in the whole world. Pollution creats many problems to live in the world and if will not be seriouse on this matter it can be more dangerous day by day. Now days global warming is at high level and it is due to pollution. We need to take some seriouse actions against pollution and adopt some good habits to controll pollution. There are two famous kind of pollution in the world air pollution and water pollution both are creating problems for human life. People have problem in breathing due to air pollution and it is also dangerous for animal as well as for human. Global warming and climate change became a big problem for the world because ice is melting quickly and sea level is increasing. There are floods everywhere in the world killed lot of people and lost property and destory system of life. Air pollution is increasing because of factories and cars and trucks which spread corbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is creating health problems. Water pollution is any chemical, physcial or biological changes in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing that drink and it is also very dangerous. We should use new technolgies to decrease the level of pollution. We should change some of our habits like we must be recycle the teen packs or other packing of food and other items to save the atmosphere in this way we can save our world and make our world more beautifull and colorfull.

Pollution is a real problem nowadays. I think the most problem is air pollution. There are so many cars especially in the USA. People drive their cars to the store even if they live 10-15 minutes from that place. If people used their cares less, it would be more fresh air. I think that factories are responsible for the pollution but it could hardly something change. I do not like when I see how some trees are removed. I saw how a company removed some trees from our previous apartments. I could not understand why they did it. There was nothing wrong with them.
