Nowadays the Earth has suffered a lot of damage, mostly caused by us. Although the Earth is our home we keep trashing it, and as everything has a reaction, our actions have brought plenty of consequences. These consequences are growing and somehow they can destroy our planet if we don't do anything to save it.Pollution refers to all contaminating stuff in the natural environment; it can take the form of chemical substances, energy, noise, heat or light. There are many forms of pollution, such as light, noise, soil contamination, radioactive contamination, thermal pollution and so on.
 Firstly, let’s talk about water. The poles (North and South) have been melting, and the animals which lived there have nowhere to go, the tide has come in and some beaches are disappearing. The water is really contaminated because of the daily use, the household wastes, gas or detergents.
Secondly, the polluted air. The contamination in the earth is due to the smog, which is smoke and fog, aerosols, bad smells, atomic radiation, and so on. The fumes from industries contain sulfur compounds, which on contact with atmospheric water they form acids which hurt the plants. In the months of drought in the highlands and in the high forest grasslands and forests are burned, issuing into the air large amounts of smoke that cloud the atmosphere.
Some other forms of pollution are: light pollution includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference. The noise pollution en encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, and industrial noise. Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by underground leakage and spill, some soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and pesticides; among others.
Finally, it is not fair for the Earth to be treated like that, it’s our home and we have to respect what is being given to us. Go green. Thank you.
