eng aa task 2: "i can make a difference"

“I can make a difference”

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the physical systems or living organisms there. There are 3 main types of pollution called air pollution, land pollution and water pollution.

Air pollution is caused by the giving out of green house gases by factories. An example of a green house gas given out is carbon monoxide. Land pollution is mainly caused by the throwing of litters on the ground. Water pollution is caused by the spilled oil from ships. It can cause death of many marine animals and seagulls.

I feel that people should help to prevent pollution to keep our Earth healthy. If people keep polluting the Earth, it would cause green house gases and eventually lead to global warming.

To reduce air pollution, land pollution and water pollution, examples are we can stop littering, reducing amount of electricity used, using public transport instead of private vehicles, the 3rs and much more.

The 3rs can help to play our part and improve the current situation. We can reduce usage of electricity by turning off the electricity when not in use. Reducing the amount of waste can also help. We can also reuse things such as bringing your own bags to shop instead of plastic bags. Recycling things such as reusing plastic bags can help. Many more things can be done to improve the situation. This can help to reduce the amount of materials used and more natural resources will be reserved for further use.
