POLLUTION!
Pollution is the introduction of a contaminant into the environment. It is created mostly by human actions,
but can also be a result of natural disasters. Pollution has a detrimental effect on any living organism in an
environment, making it virtually impossible to sustain life.

Every year in the U.S. factories release over 3 million tons of toxic chemicals into the land, air and water.
This hazardous waste causes us to lose over 15 million acres of land every year, it leads to respiratory
complications and other health problems and it makes our rivers and lakes too polluted for us to swim in
and drink from.

But factories are only part of the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused by industrial and commercial
waste, agriculture practices, everyday human activities and, most notably, modes of transportation. No
matter where you go and what you do, there are remnants of pollution.

There are three main types of pollution: land, air and water pollution.
