Water Pollution

Water Pollution, the most serious environmental problem facing the earth today, is a major problem in the entire world. It is a combination of water bodies that affect millions of things. Water Pollution occurs when pollutants are put in directly or indirectly into the large bodies of water. It is the leading cause of deaths and diseases. Water pollution causes deaths of 14,000 people daily.

I have many reasons of why I choose that water pollution is the most serious environmental problem facing the earth today. My first reason is because when people throw garbage or trash in the water, it does not only affect the water it affects people, animals, plants, etc. It affects people because when they go in the water or drink the water, they could get diseases that could lead to death. It affects the animals the same way that it affects the humans, usually animals to survive they drink in rivers or lakes, but if the lakes and rivers are dirty, the chances are that they are sick or that they die. It could affect the plants because some people grab water from the lakes and rivers, and if they are dirty, something bad could happen to the plants.

I think water pollution is the worst of all. The reason of that is because in our earth, there is more water than a lot of things, for example land. That means that we, all humans, have more chances of death and getting sick. The best part is that we cause water pollution! We have to stop polluting the water with our garbage! The water that is polluted could contain toxics from garbage that if you drink it, you could die or get sick. Water needs to be clean, some people that are very thirsty, drink water from lakes and rivers, and if that water is polluted by chemicals or garbage, they could die.

Water pollution is very harmful because it kills plants, and without plants we wont have a lot of oxygen. Water pollution kills animals, and most of the animals like fish, octopus, chicken, cows, pigs, etc are our food. That means that it affects us humans because it is taking away our food. Sometimes, the seafood gets poisoned by water pollution and us humans eat them, that affects us because people could get diseases such as hepatitis. The ecosystems could be affected because water pollution could change it or destroyed it.

In conclusion, water pollution can affect many things in this world, like killing animals, humans, plants, etc. It could affect our environment, taking away our food and just making us very unhappy and disappointed, it is the worst of all! Water pollution has the capability of causing problems in our life time and bringing our planet to an end! Do you really want to end like this? Let's just stop water pollution!

  1. I agree with you, water pollution is the worst thing that could happen because it ends up killing us. You have a lot of facts that support you main idea. It is also true that we are the ones that cause this pollution and are not doing anything about it. It is a sad truth, which is why we must start to make a change now, and not wait for others to do it for us. We are killing the world we have and all of the animals in it. My paragraph is about animals going extinct, so water pollution definitely contributes to that.

  2. I agree with you, however I believe that air pollution is somewhat more serious but this problem also needs to be fixed. Every problem that threatens life and is fatal should be immediately solved. You did a very good job in informing us about the issues we face in today's society. Thank-you.

  3. I think that you totally have a point here. I think that air pollution is the worst, but water pollution is definitely in second place. We are causing the harm to water, and we still refuse to do something about it, that's really unfair. It also harms us, so let's start a revolution!

  4. I agree with you, water pollution is the worst kind of contamination on Earth. If we keep polluting water we will die. Water is what keep us alive, without it we are dead. I wrote my essay about water pollution because I think that kind of pollution is the worst one.

  7. I agree in all the aspects you wrote on. Water pollution is the most serious one for us. Animals do not have the responsabily for being suffering and dying because of our fault.

  8. Adriana, I totally agree with you. Water is one of our most important resources on Earth. Plus, in order to survive we need clean water. If the water is polluted we have less posibilities of surviving. Well done.

  9. Adri, I agree with you. Water is getting contaminated too fast, and us humans, the ones that cause all this damage won't to anything to stop it. Also as Feris said, air is somehow important too. If we don't have clean air, we are inhaling smog and chemicals released from factories. It's really sad to know that we are ending up with our world :/ I wish we could all join and start doing things to reduse the use of water and pollution.

  10. In this essay you talk a lot about what might happen to the animals and human with the water pollution. Maybe, you can also talk about ways to fix water pollution. Oil Tankers spill oil all the time. Maybe, the WWF can make them carry their OIL in a seal container so it doesn't spill. Very well done Adri, keep up the good work!
