Air Pollution. Today the air is so polluted in some places that it’s not always safe to breathe there. Many cities around the world have air polluted with “smog”. Smog is brown air pollution that comes from cars and factories, it makes the air unsafe for people, animals and plants to breathe.
Water Pollution. The planet Earth is mostly water. But we’re not doing a very good job of keeping water clean. In many places, the water has become polluted. Rivers and lakes are polluted by garbage or by poisonous chemicals which are dumped right into them.
Land Pollution. When you throw something away, it goes in a garbage can. Almost all garbage is taken to a garbage dump, or landfill, where the garbage truck empties it onto the ground. So, most of our garbage is just buried. Now we are making so much garbage that in many places, there is not enough room to bury it all.
