To conclude Pollution is a very serious subject, which many people don’t exactly know what the consequences are. It affects our environment and causes diseases and harm to it. Everything is in our hands but not many humans are motivated to make a change. People should start caring for their environment and realize that our world might be coming to an end because of their activities.
