Pollution is when we make the Earth dirty and unhealthy. It happens when smoke, trash, or chemicals go into the air, water, or land. Pollution hurts animals, plants, and even people.
There are different types of pollution:
-
Air pollution comes from cars, factories, and burning things. It makes the air dirty and hard to breathe.
-
Water pollution happens when garbage or oil goes into rivers, lakes, or oceans. Fish and other animals can get sick.
-
Land pollution is caused by too much trash. Plastic, cans, and food waste can stay in the ground for a long time.
How can we help?

Every little step helps make the Earth cleaner and happier!
