Introduction

 

Pollution has become one of the biggest threats to our planet. It affects the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on. The increasing number of vehicles, factories, and plastic waste is damaging Earth’s natural balance. To protect our planet, we must understand the causes and effects of pollution and take steps to reduce it.

 

Types of Pollution

 

There are several kinds of pollution:

 

Air pollution – caused by smoke from vehicles and industries.

 

Water pollution – caused by dumping waste into rivers and oceans.

 

Land pollution – caused by littering and improper waste disposal.

 

Noise pollution – caused by loud traffic and machines.

Each of these harms humans, animals, and the environment in different ways.

 

 

Effects of Pollution

 

 

Pollution leads to global warming, melting glaciers, and loss of wildlife. Air pollution causes diseases such as asthma and lung infections. Contaminated water spreads harmful bacteria, while land pollution affects soil fertility. The natural beauty of our planet is disappearing due to human carelessness.

 

Solutions to Reduce Pollution

 

To save our planet, we need to change our habits. People should use public transport, plant more trees, and reduce plastic use. Factories should install filters to limit smoke emissions. Recycling and waste management can also reduce pollution significantly.

 

Conclusion

 

Our Earth is our only home, and it’s our duty to protect it. By controlling pollution and spreading environmental awareness, we can make the planet safe and beautiful again. Small changes from each person can create a big difference.
