Around 93% of the worlds children under the age of fifteen have to breathe air that puts their health and development at a large risk. in 2016 around 600,000 kids were estimated to have died from lower respiratory problems which were caused by heavily polluted air. polluted air is now of the leading threats to children health under the age of five, it kills almost one in every 10 deaths within this age group. Children are also easier to be affected by air pollution because they breathe more often and they are also closer to the ground.
This issue reminds me of a year ago in China when the pollution was so bad. The pollution during that time was so bad that apparently you could hardly see through all of the fog. I dont think anyone should have to live with such harsh living conditions. We are basically as developed as the rest of this major cities and our air is no where close to being that polluted. If we are able to help them I think we should do everything in our power in order to aid these people.

I think pollution is a big problem in today’s world and I think we should figure out a way to solve the problem. I know many ideas have been presented to solve global warming but not many are doing something. I think everyone should help out because it will make a greater difference~ Stephannie Hernandez
ReplyDeletePollution is a big problem in today’s world with everyone focused on commuting, How far does pollution have to go for the world to make a change?
ReplyDeleteIt's terrifying that as each generation proceeds, the more vulnerable they become to the toxicity of pollution. There has to be a way to suppress this because pollution is also causing global warming.
ReplyDeleteI agree pollution is a big problem today and it affect people’s health and we should try to do everything we can to keep the air clean.
ReplyDeletePollution and climate change is definitely something everyone should be aware of and be making an effort to limit the amount of greenhouse gases they release. If America has the means to be able to help other countries with their pollution issues, then by all means, we should make a difference and help them. Our generation must be the ones to change the way things are for the better. Lily Philips
