Water+Pollution

We should help stop water pollution. by Marina

Have you ever assumed about water pollution, or how it was caused? Have you ever thought of what kind of future you’re setting up for your kids? If you haven’t, just take a few seconds, and just comprehend about this “Do I really desire my children to behold a world full of pollution or global warming and full of garbage?”

I don’t know about you, but I believe that we should help stop water pollution. This is really changing our world in a negative way. We need your guidance in making the world a better place. I am going to try my best to convince you to cooperate with us. You might anticipate, “ Who cares about pollution? It’s not really creating me any problems.” You might not reutilize this, but yes it is causing you problems, and the environment.

Although some people talk about water pollution, not many grasp what pollution actually is. In the beginning. Pollution is deadly chemicals that provoke water pollution. When these poisonous chemicals get in the water, they mix. This can produce big issues. The one fact that we should remember is that people motivated and still motivate water pollution.

In addition, you might not realize this, but people pollute water almost everyday. For example, if you apply pesticides or fertilizer in or on your lawn, chances are that the next time it rains that will end up in some water source. Or if a factory is located by a river or stream, they will most likely dump harmful chemicals into the water. Another scenario is if you changed your oil and spilled it. The next time it rains that will also be in your water.

Furthermore, there are two types of pollution. First there is point source pollution. This is when, for instance, a factory dumps chemicals into a river. Or when rain conducts poisonous chemicals into a water source. The other type of pollution is source pollution. This is when the pollution comes from many different sources. People cause all pollution. That is one important message to remember.

Meanwhile, kids assume that they are too small to make any kind of change. We kids can assist by looking at ponds and streams and checking for pollution dilemmas. You could gather friends and family and go to a local stream or river to pick up trash. We could make a broadcast and a group or club to write to officials so that they could zoom into the problem. All of these ways will promote getting people’s attention.

On the other hand, while people undergo what water pollution is, not many discriminate that there are symptoms of polluted water. For instance a shiny surface or rainbow colors. This can mean that there is oil that is polluting the water. Green water is another note. This can mean that there is to much “algae.’’ Fertilizers can be an outcome in this. Brown and or muddy water is also a mark. This means that there is a great amount of dirt mixed into the water. The last warning is orange water. This means that there might be iron in the water. All of these traits can and will develop problems if not taken care of.

Simultaneously the food chain is in effect too. Water pollution is also affecting the oceans and humans. If pollution keeps up, we might be in deep trouble. For example, sharks eat the tuna fish. The tuna fish diets on the zooplankton. The zooplankton feed on phytoplankton. Just think we consume fish, so do other animals. We can’t let pollution end up killing all the fish and ocean organisms.

Moreover, oil spills and just plain oil causes many severe issues for our environment. We use oil in many different ways. Some of these ways are that we use oil in cars, it heats our homes, school, to make plastic, and many more ways. Do you actually comprehend about how oil can harm our environment? These are some ways that oil can be harmful. If it gets into “well water,” people and animals can get really sick. Oil spills hurt many animals, birds, and fish. Oil discomforts animals because it gets the oil on their fur, and, if not saved, they could possibly die. We can clean oil up, but it takes a long time. Also, it’s tough work.

Furthermore I am going to list many everyday toxic materials. In our yards we use fertilizers, and swimming pool chemicals. In personal care we use hair spray, makeup, shampoo, and soap. Art equipment is also toxic glaze, glue, and primer. House items are also toxic paint, and insulation. Here are a list of office utensils that are poisonous ink and pens. All of these things if not disposed right can be very dangerous to our environment.

In conclusion, I hope that you learned some new and fascinating facts about pollution. List the many activities you could do to help out. Some ideas are picking up trash and disposing things correctly. I wish that you could be the change and help make a difference in your life and your kid’s life. I believe that I convinced you to help stop pollution. Thanks for taking the time to read and let’s make our world healthier and a brighter future for our children.
