Pollution in America and other letters to the editors

Pollution in America

Pollution in America is one of the major issues that our country faces on a daily basis. Every time something is thrown out the window on the interstate, it adds to the growing problem.

There are several ways to control this issue. From recycling to simply throwing a piece of plastic into a trash can, anything will help keep the environment that we live in a much cleaner and healthier place to live.

A great example of how littering can effect the environment would be The Great Pacific Garbage Patch located in the Pacific Ocean. There are over one million tons of garbage floating in the ocean today and it is all because of neglect on our part.

If we all put forth the effort, the issue of pollution can be eliminated once and for all.
