Begin your writing here:
I don’t think that pollution is fair for people or animals because thousands or even millions of people die every year and also loads of animals die yearly too. Another reason why I don’t like pollution is because it destroys our environment and our communities. Our environments and communities are getting destroyed from pollution and it is affecting people and animals like I have mentioned before.
Air Pollution
Air pollution is the fourth largest threat to human health behind high blood pressure, dietary risks and smoking. It is bad for people and animals because, us humans because we breathe in air and exhale carbon dioxide. It affects humans because when we breathe we breathe in air or oxygen and if our air is polluted we may die from it.
Land pollution
Land pollution is a huge cause of soil. Our planet loses 24 billion tonnes of topsoil each year because of land pollution. The rubbish we globally generate is enough to fill 63 000 waste removal trucks. Much of this refuse causes land pollution after being disposed of and also one ton of oil is spilled for every one million tonnes of oil being transported.
I hope you agree with me and thank you for reading my point of view.
