Environmental Struggle; Is Pollution Worth It Greg Graffin, a lead singer of the band “Bad Religion,” once said, “ So much of the habitat destruction and pollution is based on the simple principle that we somehow have been given free license over other species to degrade the planet.” Even though he’s speaking his mind, he makes a valid point about how we’ve been dumping our trash in the ocean and allowing factories to release gases and polluting our air.

With the increase in energy consumption, pollutant emissions from stationary fossil fuel burning sources, such as industries, and also from the most popular, mobile sources, such as the motor vehicles the majority of the population use daily. There is increased contact between the respiratory system and the environment, and the air that is breathed in, has a direct affect on the health of the individual or animal (Marcos Arbex et. al.,…
Air pollution can result from both human and natural actions. Natural events that pollute the air include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal, evaporation of organic compounds and natural radioactivity (http://eschooltoday.com/pollution/air-pollution/causes-of-air-pollution.html). One cause of air pollution from humans is the burning of fossil fuels. Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other factory combustibles is one the major cause of air pollution. Pollution emitting from vehicles including trucks, jeeps, cars, trains, airplanes cause immense amount of pollution (http://www.conserve-energy-future.com/causes-effects-solutions-of-air-pollution.php).…
