There are lots of environmental problems nowadays, mainly because of
pollution. It is the contamination of air, water and land by waste, chemicals,
smoke and other harmful substances.
The emission of smokes from factories and cars, are big causes of air
pollution which produce acid rain, smog and a hole in the ozone layer.
Water is also suffering from pollution because of the millions of tons
of litter being thrown into the seas every year.
Pollution is also caused by the fertilizers and pesticides used by
farmers for the soil.
It is up to us to stop damaging the environment. We all should act
green and fight the pollution by using the 3 R’s !
