Pollution

Hi! It’s me again, today we’re talking about pollution and other issues with the environment. We will start by talking about pollution. Pollution is something that hurts the environment such as garbage, gases, and sewage. Us humans are making lots of gas from factories, cars, and even some lawnmowers! There’s also land pollution. Land pollution is caused by garbage being thrown on the ground also known as littering. Last but not least there is water pollution. Water pollution is caused by dumping sewage and other very gross substances in the water. I would love for pollution to disappear. But us humans are doing other things that damage the ecosystem such as illegal hunting. In case you don’t know, illegal hunting, also known as poaching is where people illegally kill animals. Poaching is especially common in  Africa where they kill elephants and rhinoceroses. These animals have Horns made of ivory which is a material that used to be used to make piano keys and other things. Trading ivory is illegal but people still do it. Now there’s logging. In case you don’t know, logging is where people cut down trees and destroy habitats. This is really bad because trees help turn carbon dioxide into oxygen and it is really important. 

Now here is habitat loss. Habitat loss is where an animal’s habitat is destroyed. Habitat loss can be caused by things like logging, global warming, and creation of new factories.Here are some of the ways you can help:

 

1.Bikes Please! Riding your bike is not only good for the environment, but also good for you!

 

2.Who turned on the lights! To save energy turn off the lights if you are out of the room for more than 5:min. (Unless your little sis is in the room!)

 

3.3 Rs! Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!

 

4.Don’t. Take. Long. Showers. Your mother has told you! Your father has told you! It’s not only rude to use up the hot water but it is also very bad for the environment!
