How pollution affects you

Pollution affects all of us.
One examlpe is breathing problems for air pollution.
the air pollution causes lung and heart damage. it causes coughing and burning of the eyes.most poeple who are exposed to clean air after the polluated air feel better insantly, for other no reaction because they have lived in polluated air for so long.
Another example is more diseases form water pollution.
the water from water drains that go into the rivers, and then all of the chemicals factories dump into the water. it not only affects the the fish that we eat, and the drinking water.
Last examaple is less anilmals from land pollution.

if pollution contines there will be less animals cause they get sick from all of the garbage laying around and the an imals get sick from the trash.
This is how pollution effects us, and if we contine it will only get worse.

Preventing Pollution

"Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle." [:

There are many ways to prevent pollution, all are fairly easy and basic; people just don't realize it.
One example is to reduce the amount of traveling in a car, also to carpool. The exhaust that comes out of the car pollutes the air, and we can prevent or decrease that by carpooling with other people. Did you know that gas exhaust and things where smoke is formed, just causes more global warming? 
Another example is to reuse the most common items such as, brown paper bags, plastic containers, glass jars and bottles too. But if you don't want to reuse them you should recycle them.
A last one is to recycle; many people throw their trash on the floor, and the main things are stuff we can really can recycle. Like, cans, bottles, newspapers,  plastic, aluminum, other kinds of metals, cars, computers, car batteries, glass, old appliances, wood, and TONS more.
We may not know it but we are the ones killing the planet everyday; these are three basic things we need to start doing, and realize that even if they're small things, it can still make a big difference.
