One way to pollute is the use of transport. 98% of the world´s population travel by car or public transport, this causes too much air and noise polltuion. Furthermore, in cities where overpopulation is present, the smog produced by car causes grey polluted clouds which damage landscape (environment). However, some modern cars turn off when they are standing at a traffic light, to avoid the smog spreading through the air or even electric cars are now seen on roads. Whatsmore, 2% of the world´s population use bicycles or they walk. If we replaced cars with bicycles, pollution would highly reduce.
Another problem that if affecting the environment is the pollution of seas and rivers. The majority of plastic and rubbish that we throw ends up in rivers and seas, killing millions of sea species and polluting the water. If this problem continues, in the future there will be more plastic than marine ecosystems in the seas. Moreover, factories are usually near the rivers; so all the chemicals that the factories discard ends up in rivers and seas, causing the death of species and people.
Finally, deforestation is also a problem, since there is noise pollution, many animals loose their habitats and the CO2 that the trees omit when they are cut, damages the ozone layer. Besides, this affects us, since trees are the main source that provide us oxygine to live. We also reduce the amount of forests, which means that landscapes are ruined; this can reduce tourism and it may be an issue for people.
To conclude, if we don´t take care of what we have, when we realize the seriousness of the issue it will be too late.
