Text : Environmental Pollution
Pollution is a major problem in the world. Many people don’t understand that what they are doing has
consequences. Plastic water bottles and bags are the main cause of soil pollution. It takes more than 25
years for the plastic to decompose in the soil and not less than 50 years in the nature to disappear.
Garbage enters waterways as well. Animals eat the garbage and die. What we need is a worldwide
effort to prevent pollution.
Our trees are being cut down rapidly. Our Earth is becoming warmer. Once pollution continues, our
Earth will become a desert. Or it will be covered with sea water causing the death of all mankind.
