Exploration on ecology and energy use Molly Black

      One environmental issue we have in society today is the air pollution we produce. Many different organizations are in affect to stop air pollution. Any pollution can affect us in many ways. One major way air pollution can affect us is it can cause difficulty in breathing, and make your eyes and nose burn. Serious terminal illnesses can be brought up from air pollution like cancer. In addition to it can trigger an asthma attack if you are caught in a very polluted area. Air pollution can also affect the environment in drastic ways. It causes thicknesses to the ozone layer, causing damages to the plants and different animal species. In addition too air pollution can affect the future. One way air pollution can affect the future is climate change. The carbon dioxide releasing into the air can cause massive heat waves affecting certain types of environments. This could cause permanent damage to the earths ecosystem if we do not get it fixed.
       One solution that we are taking into action right now is an act called the Clean Air Act. The Clear Air Act makes these problems aware to public, showing how you can be a solution in your everyday life. At home you can conserve energy by turning off lights, and even wash your clothes with warm or cold water instead of using hot water. These are all things at home you can do. In addition too you can buy Eco-friendly products to reduce your carbon footprint. In addition too you can drive more safely or reduce how many times you drive in a day. By buying an Eco-friendly car you can reduce your air pollution you are personally giving out. A strength of turning Eco-friendly is it can only benefit us in the future. It can help save our environments and the risk of diseases caused by air pollution will go down. A weakness is many people are not going to want to spend the money to switch over to Eco-friendly things or change their living habits. There is a lot of controversy on whether this can actually be done and if the American people will follow through with it. The solution that makes most sense to me is the ones you do at home. They are little fixes instead of going out and buying an Eco-friendly car you can start small and work your way up. This will eventually I think help everyone to get use to this lifestyle.
