Air Pollution

I guess that all of you know what is water pollution, acidic rain and so on if you look at the other posts in our blog. But do you know what is Air pollution? Basically, you would think that air pollution is just air that we pollute. But do you know? There is much more than that for Air pollution. Do you know how air pollution is caused? If you have read about Acid rain, you would know a bit about air pollution. But, in detail, how is air pollution caused? What are the effects of air pollution? What must we do to prevent air pollution?
Could you give us some ideas on how air pollution is caused?
Could you also give some ideas on the effects of air pollution?
Last but not least, share with us your solutions to air pollution...
Thank you very much!

Water Pollution

Hey guys!
Thank you alot for supporting our blog and posting your comments.
Anyway, do all of you know what is water pollution? If you do not know, please do read on!
Factories, ships, human beings and many other minor problems cause water pollution.
When factories dump waste into the sea or and water bodies, they are actually polluting the water. When ships spill oil, they are also polluting the water. When WE, human beings litter, we pollute water. How? You may ask, well, when we litter and rain falls, the rain can "sweep" the litter into nearby water bodies. Littering directly into water bodies is worse.

Example, when you throw a plastic bag into the water, you might think, what can a plastic bag do anyway? Like the phrase goes, a gigantic problems start from a tiny choice... What if a dolphin sees the plastic bag, thinks it is a jellyfish. YUM! It gobbles the plastic bag up, the plastic bag can't be swallowed, it gets stuck in the dolphins throat and the dolphin cant't breathe and in a few minutes, it would die. See what I mean?

Could you suggest another way on how we actually pollute water???

Acid Rain


Hey everyone!
Do you know what is acid rain?
Well, if you do not know what it is, it is rain, that has acid in it! Don't believe it? Let me explain...
The form age of acid rain begins at a tiny problem... driving a car.
Everyday, whether you take your dad's car our public transport to school, you are actually playing a part in harming mother earth!
In fact, in order to "move" motor vehicles need fossil fuel. This means that as they burn fossil fuels, they give off toxic gases in their exhaust fumes.
And every time rain falls through the toxic gases, it becomes weak acids that actually "eat" into buildings, harms plants and kill forests. So.... this does not mean that you can't take motor vehicles... just tell your mums or dads that if your car could be fitted with emission filters and their fuels could be less toxic... Mother Earth would be very happy with her own children...

What I observed...

My dear children,

A letter from Mother Earth...


Dear my beloved children...
All has been well until some of our friends started to bully me.
Could you explain to me how this is happening?
I am feeling very sick and I have a terrible headache.
I need your help to tell me the reason why this is happening.
Love, Mother earth

All you need to do is just post a comment stating a reason why mother earth is feeling unwell...
