| Which country do you think damages the environment the most? You might think developed countries like Canada, England and Australia pollute the most... but the truth is that underdeveloped countries like Brazil, china and Indonesia are the some of the top polluters in the world. You might be shocked that the USA comes 2nd in the world top (by national Geographic's) if you want to keep our planet healthy we got to do something, fast! Luckily there are some countries, they help keep our environment clean, |

| E.g. due to climate change animals are dying quickly also you might think pollution only happens on land, in the air and in the sea, well think again, there are also other ways that people pollute, like noise pollution, light pollution and radioactive pollution. We should also avoid these types of pollutions and all other pollution. If we don’t want to make earth a war zone. |

So, you might be wondering how can we tell these underdeveloped countries to stop polluting or help the animals those who are suffering from pollution? Although you cannot directly help you can still do small things to make a big difference. Remember that a little spark ignite the flame. It takes a little seed to grow a tree. Some ways to help is use less air conditioning, avoid driving to near destination, and don’t litter! Fun fact: did you know that it takes 1800 gallon of water to grow the cotton for 1 pair of blue jeans !!!that's ridiculous! |

So, if we do the simple things together, we will save our environment. |
