Air Pollution

Hi!
Today, I want to talk about air pollution, and some ways to help. Air pollution can be made by the following: Trucks, cigarettes, cars, machines, factories, trains, airplanes, jets, cargo ships, buses, and more.

Air pollution can be visible, and sometimes it's invisible! Air pollution can also hurt your eyes, throat, lungs, and can cause lip and tongue cancer. When a smoker smokes, it not only harms its lungs, but it harms other people's lungs, and lets pollution in the air. It also harms the Earth.

When smoke goes into the air, it raises the Earth's temperature. This is causing the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic to melt. When this happens, polar bears, penguins, seals, and walruses lose their homes.

When polar bears swim, they need to rest on ice burgs. But, with pollution melting ice, the polar bears end up drowning.

Here are a few ways to help prevent air pollution:
1. If you can, buy a hybrid.
2. Plant trees along the road.
3. Walk or ride a bicycle to get to close by places.
4. Don't smoke.

Until next time,
Chiara
