Pollution

Introduction
In this paper I will address one of the environmental problems:
pollution. Discriminately I will speak of the three most common
types of pollution, as well as its causes, its consequences and
some of the preventive measures. This work was carried out
under the English discipline proposed by teacher Manuela, to
reset the hours that exceeded the module. So I plan to alert
people to one of the great problems of our society.

Direct damage to the ecosystem: acid rain, which is responsible for

killing plants and animals, and also causes damage to the heritage.

Climate change: the greenhouse effect

What to do?

Development cars that emit less carbon dioxide.

Technology has generated industrial equipment that is cleaner and

less harmful.

Ground pollution
This occurs by contamination by substances capable of causing significant
changes to its proper frame.

Causes

The waste that arises in the street, in the gardens, the woods (..)
Pesticides ;
