How water pollution affects our planet

Water pollution is affecting our planet by killing animals and humans.

Firstly, water pollution is affecting our planet by killing our animals and making the water very dirty and full of plastic. Water pollution is everywhere from beaches to lakes, rivers, and even to the water hole. This is making everywhere yucky and disgusting and that is just from water pollution. Don’t get me started on plastic because it can kill over 1 million sea animals a year. 

How water pollution is affecting our animals, water pollution causes so many problems, but the largest problem is plastic is the ocean. Plastic can cause a lot of problems and it kills fish, birds, sea turtles, and even destroys habitats. It can even affect sea animals' when they are mating which can have a very big problem, and that can wipe out entire species. 

Lastly, how water pollution affects humans, humans are the main cause of water pollution in many ways like throwing your garbage out in the area which leads to rivers then to the ocean.  Chemicals in the water also have negative effects on our bodies which can be pretty bad, you can get fevers and other more dangerous things than just a fever.

In conclusion, this is how water pollution affects our planet.

 How deforestation affects our planet

Today I want to explain how and why deforestation is horribly affecting our planet and our environment.

Firstly, the loss of trees can cause climate change which is really bad for the environment and us human beings. And the loss of trees can also cause deforestation, fewer crops, and flooding. But how can we stop this you ask, by not cutting down as many trees as you want or when you cut down 1000 trees you have to plant double the amount of trees.  

The natural climate solution, what is a natural climate solution you might ask, well it is a restoration and land management activities that increase carbon storage and spread greenhouse gas across the wetlands, grasslands, and forest. And another natural climate solution is: you guessed it trees. But if we cut down all those trees we could not breathe and not smell that fresh air and feel that wind in your face.

Lastly, so many animals die a year just from deforestation and people cutting down trees. And to answer your question: 5 million animals die a year. But deforestation can lead to animals directly losing their habitat in the wild. And they are losing their home and their food.

So, in conclusion, that is why deforestation is a big problem. And also why we should stop cutting down trees. Thank you for reading my explanation of how deforestation is affecting our planet.
