Pollution

More recently people have been putting in the news as major lines. One article you may have seen have seen was about global warming. It talked about the greenhouse affect. This is when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. This causes heat to be trapped on Earth, which is heating our world up and melting the polar caps. Another headline you may have seen was called Ozone Hole Growing. This article said that when humans pollute the atmosphere it is causing a hole to appear in the ozone layer. Now it is growing they say and this is bad because that allows more ultraviolet rays in from the sun. As I mentioned earlier ultraviolet rays can cause eye damage and skin cancer to both humans and animals. It was also trying to find a way to stop the hole from growing any larger. They said everyone can help by not burning so many fossil fuels. The one headline that stood out most to me was the one that talked about what will happen if the pole were completely melted. If this was to happen it would cause all landmasses to be covered by at least three inches of water. This would really change the way everyone lives. Now people are trying to stop this from happening.

Now you know that pollution is affecting our world. You too can help clean up our planet. It may be something as simple as making sure your trash gets in the can or as big as helping to clean up an oil spill. Now you have a chance to help our world. I hope you will now make a difference.
