Environmental problems

pollution: factories, cars release poisonous chemicals into the air

polluted water falls from the sky and damages everything
food waste and too much packaging cause land pollution
hole in the ozone is getting bigger because of aerosols
extinction of species -> overhunting, habitat loss, pollution, deforestation
deforestation -> trees are cut down -> erosion of the soil and fires
