Pollution

Begin your writing here: 

POINT: Pollution is the worst thing in the world because of what it does to the air and water. 

EXPLANATION: Pollution is terrible because it pollutes our waters and our air. It is one of the reasons why people get sick and pass away. 

EXAMPLE: An example of this is when you look at the ocean and see rubbish in the water like plastic or when there is something in the air coming from factories. The most polluted country is Bangladesh because of something called Vehicular emissions which is vehicle pollution and industrial emissions is gas pollution. Another way of causing pollution is to use fire power more by using wood and coal. These all cause pollution.
