We are now living in a world where pollution is adversely affecting everything in nature, and we're seeing terrible effects like acid rain and global warming. It appears as if we're ignoring the damage we're causing this amazing planet of ours. How wonderful it would be if we could breathe natural air in our cities, uncontaminated by poisons and toxins due to our way of living. However, this is no longer attainable; we humans have guaranteed that with the pollution we've created we'll be breathing in airborne poisons, which can impair our habitat and ultimately our health.

All types of life found in that massive body of water, our oceans, which total 70% of planet earth's surface, are being ravaged by pollutants such as oil and chemical spillage, which inevitably affects us as well. Lots of fishing jobs that were reliant on the healthy bounty of the sea have been wiped out. Since way back in time, fishing has fed and given economic means to a significant section of our population, all of which is already being taken from many. Anyone wanting to be persuaded of how harmful oil spills are, need look no further than the recent Deep water Horizon disaster, which cost billions to subsequently fix and left many unemployed. The whole ecosystem was damaged through the large numbers of wildlife that perished, avian as well as marine, causing a backlash along the whole of the food chain. An unfortunate example of mankind prioritizing its short-term necessity for oil, a dead substance, over the well-being of the earth and its other inhabitants.
