LECTURE

Hello and welcome to my lecture about the causes and effects of polluting the environment.
You have probably heard environmental pollution and global warming many times, but have
you actually thought about it?
The first thing we need to think about is pollution. What is pollution? Pollution happens
when nature can’t does not know how to decompose an element that was not introduced in
the environment naturally. In other words, if we put in the environment artificial things like
plastic, we pollute the environment.
There are many types of pollution. First, there’s air pollution. Some of the main sources of
air pollution are the burning of fossil fuels and emissions of carbon dioxide from vehicles
and factories. If fossil fuels are burned, smog is formed, which pollutes many big cities and
industrial zones.
People can contaminate the air by using certain everyday products, like aerosol sprays. If
people get exposed to too much air pollution, they can develop respiratory problems like
asthma or lung cancer. Then, there’s water pollution. Sources of water pollution is the
waste from agricultural fields, industrial sites and urban areas. Additionally, if fertilizers
get thrown into the sea, algae grows way too much, which reduces the amount of available
oxygen for other species. Today, one of the worst pollutants for the sea is trash. Trash can
be made of various materials, many of which seriously harm the sea. For example, if a
plastic bag ends up in the sea, sea creatures die because the plastic will probably get stuck
in their bodies, and the plastic takes hundreds of year to disintegrate. But that’s only two
types of pollution. Just think about all the things that we do and the pollutants that we and
other human beings are creating every day. The way we are living our lives harms the
environment more than ever before, and it’s time to change.
