It has been around for a few years, but only now does it have the potential to do good on a worldwide scale. This innovation is called algae biofuel. Algae biofuel is a fuel just like gasoline or diesel, but instead of being mined from the ground causing irreparable damage, it is grown in a pond and actually has positive side effects on the environment.

World War II was an interesting era specifically for countries who already believed themselves to be industrialized. Post World War II, pushed American manufactures to a frenzy to produce the best products on the market. Although businesses began skyrocketing in profits, waste levels became an undeniable problem.

Every small image represents the consequences of destroying the environment and some environmental pollution such as air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution that we have to face with. The pollution is caused by humans, and the picture helps us clearly see how humans make the environment become polluted. If humans continue to destroy…
