My Enviromental Issue - Pollution

Today I'm creating a blog post about my environmental issue. This issue is about pollution especially air pollution which is the worst for our world. The air pollution can be dangerous for some people that are pregnant. Sometimes Air pollution can affect animals as well if they are not careful. Pollution is very, very dangerous to humans and animals! BE CAREFUL. Also, I'm telling you to be careful because every year at least 9 million people die because of the pollution in Water, air and also the pollution in food ( Only sometimes in food )

Most of this air pollution we cause results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles.
