Air Pollution

Air Pollution affects everyone even though you may not realize it. Smoke hinders your breathing, and dirties the air. Even trash causes air pollution. Even the chip bag you threw away produces methane gas, which builds up in the atmosphere. When trash gets thrown out it builds up in landfills and as litter on the side of roads, in yards, and in forests. The trash produces gas that harms the air and dirties it. You can reduce this by following the “reduce, reuse, recycle” rule. This means that when you can reuse something, you should. For example, use glass bottles as vases. Recycle whenever you can, and also try and buy things with less plastic packaging. Humans emit many gasses into the air from cars and fossil fuels, which adds up fast. Even garbage dumps produce harmful gasses. A way to reduce this is by using public transportation like busses. Riding bikes is another way to help, because they keep the air clean. Try and use clean energy like solar or wind, and speak up about the harmful energy we use. Like I said before, use less trash. It will help. Air pollution also causes health problems and makes people get sick. It can affect your lungs and make it hard for you to breath. Using log burning fireplaces doesn't help and neither does burning brush and trash in your yard. Using gas furnaces are better for the environment and still keep your house warm! In conclusion, this is why we need to care about our air! You can get sick from it and have to miss out on things. It's better for everyone if we all work to keep our air clean.
