We are fortunate to live on a planet that provides us with so many benefits, but we don’t take enough care of it. For example, air pollution. 91% of the earth’s population is breathing polluted air. In 2017, air pollution caused 5 million deaths worldwide. Most of the pollution comes from the gas emissions of factories. One of the best ways to drastically reduce this problem is to use less factory-made products. Other ways are to make home-made products instead of store-bought ones, or to use less plastic. Littering Littering is the practice of humans leaving their trash around, which has a negative impact on marine life. Most of the time, people are responsible for their own trash. That means they’re responsible for the garbage they’re throwing away. Many of the plastic we use ends up in the ocean, killing marine animals. One of the biggest ways to reduce plastic usage is to use metal water bottles instead of minimal use plastic water bottles. My final example is wastage of water in our environment.Did you know that we waste 1.7 gallons of water annually.We can preserve about 10 gallons of water a day if we can just turn off the faucet.2/3 of the water we use comes from showers,so we should all make an effort to limit our time in there.In this earth we have to take care of eachother and put our own needs and desires aside.We all can make efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and make the world a better place.
