| Air |
Factories and cars
let out fumes and chemicals in smoke polluting the air. |
Pollutants in the
air make it hard for people to breathe causing lung disease. When it
rains the chemicals in the air cause acid rain hurting the animals and
plants. |
|
| Land |
People throw litter
on the ground. Many people don't recycle and throw away so much garbage
that we have landfills growing in our cities. |
Many animals eat the
litter and become sick and can die. Litter laying around covers the
land from the sun and the grass and plants can die. |
|
Water |
Many companies dump
their toxic waste in many rivers and lakes. Ships spill oil in
oceans and rivers. People throw litter in water.
|
Toxic waste and oil
spills cause many animals and plants to die. Litter
also is eaten by animals or they get caught in the litter like six pack
plastics causing the animals death. |
