Our water sources are becoming toxic due to the waste, and with the amount of toxic water there is, we won’t have any extra clean water available for usage. …show more content…

These gasses mixed together, as well as other, can cause asthma, emphysema, lung cancer, and many more chronic illnesses. In the modern day, car exhaustion is flooding the air, adding up the layers from each and every vehicle.

Noise pollution causes higher stress levels, loss of sleep, hypertension, tinnitus, and hearing loss. With the rise of technology and construction, the noise levels have only gotten higher.
The new generations are being taught bad habits of littering. It's only going to become worse each year. This generation should give the new generation a gift, a good gift. The gift of clean water, smog and toxin free air, and a clean land free of waste and damage caused by
