Pollution!!

Pollution is another environmental issue our country suffers from. Pollution affects over a billion around the world. When I read more about it I was shocked. A billion is a large figure. I couldn't imagine that many people in the suffering from this. It is our fault as a society that this even happening. It estimated by organizations that 25 percent of all deaths are caused by air pollution. Also researchers estimate that exposure to pollution causes 40% of deaths. People who are exposed to air pollution are more likely to catch diseases more than anyone else. The most at risk is children and women. Children are more vulnerable than adults. So, they have a higher exposure. Children take up 10% of the worlds population. About 40% of the global burden of disease fall on them. This a serious issue because children are the way to the future. You have to stop and ask yourself do you care about your future?
