1. The Negative Effects of Pollution
I believe the kinds of pollution that I will talk about will abuse the planet Earth
and for the existing mankind left on Earth. Water pollution and littering, specifically
littering water bottles, is two very similar kinds of pollution that sabotages the next
generation of people.
Water pollution is said to be one of Earth’s issues. To simply explain what
pollution is, it is harmful contaminants that reach the given ecosystem for example in the
water or land. Pesticides, chemical fertilizers, detergents either the bottle or the liquid
itself are some of these contaminants. Noise pollution that usually happens on water, and
just as harmful as physical pollution. Natural disasters that happen in the water and
sounds from ships interfere with migration, communication between animals and
reproducing patterns such as in whales and dolphins.
Littering is very common among the US. Water bottles seemed to be littered the
most. Plastic bottles and the other pollutants such as plastic bags take a very long time to
rot or disintegrate. Recycling plastic bottles help, but one out of six plastic bottles end up
in the recycling bin. Plus, recycling a bottle saves energy to power a sixty watt bulb for
six hours (straight) The Core Democratic Value that supports my belief is the Common Good
because it helps everyone and for the good of all. I believe that pollution will hurt the
planet in the water and on land, which is called littering.
