How many stars in th sky? Do you Remember the last time you saw a sky filled with hundreds to thousands of stars? Was it a day ago, a week, a month? For me, it was about a year ago! What happened to the stars? Nothing, we were just polluting the air. Pollution doesn't affect just one place, it affects everywhere and everyone. Does anyone care? Well, if I told you that the world is becoming a desolate wasteland and is making it harder to live in, would you care? Well I would. We need to prevent pollution. Have you ever thought about what pollution can do? It is killing the world's population! For example, pollution can cause diseases to plants and animals such as humans. People have a risk of illnesses such as asthma, lung cancer, and others that can affect breathing. Also, we are polluting the bodies of water. For instance, trash can be dumped into the waters of Earth. This makes sea life hard to live in. Have you watched the movie Happy Feet? Well in the movie, there was a penguin that had its neck strangled by a soda can holder. This was from people polluting the water. Water is vital to survival for every living thing. There is less then one percent of fresh water in the world, would you want to waste it by polluting? Drinking this water can make animals very ill. Recently, there was an oil spill in the waters of earth. This affected thousands to millions of animals. In the food chain, animals eat animals. So in the end, it ends up that we would be eating a diseased animal. Most people think that buying food at a store is automatically fresh; well there isn't much you can do to clean up polluted food because there is no escaping in eating polluted things. In addition, we are polluting the land. Think of trash in a landfill or a dump. Does it look beautiful? Imagine that being what the world looks like. In a landfill, trash is either buried into the groung or burned into a furnace. Which one would you rather have? I wouldn't pick any. Either way, it ends up polluting the world. Buried trash takes hundreds to thousands of years to decompose. By then, trash would be up to our knees. when burning trash, the defect is polluting the sky. Did you know that a plants food is carbon? With all this pollution, plants don't even need animals to survive anymore. With the atmosphere so polluted, plants are having a feast in a paradise. In some commercials, I've found some astonishing facts. Did you know that in every year there are enough plastic bottles thrown out to cover the world six times! Also, there are enough toilet paper rolls thrown out to vover the empire state building twice! You might be wondering how there isn't trash up to our heads by now. The answer is that people actually care about Earth and actually recycle; we've even made a holiday of it called Earth Day. As you can see, we need to stop pollution. From saving the population, lowering litter, to lowering pollution, we can make a change. We can't wait for the future to do it because we are making a change today, tomorrow, and forever. People have already made a change in altrnative power and recycling. One day, I'd hope to see the world as a cleaner, fresher, better place. And one day, I will once again see the stars in the sky shine above me once again.
