pollution

People are physically able to survive several hours without food and water, but as every humans, people would only last a couple minutes without air. Because of human activities, the planet is overloaded with toxic gases and air pollution. It has been calculated that on average, people breath over 3,000 gallons of air every day. Because of their bad actions by damaging natural environment, the Earth’s citizens breath toxic air which is the consequence of their actions. Millions of industries in China and in America are emitting pollution every day in order to satisfy people’s needs. Tons of coal are fired every day to produce energy. Millions of cars are releasing CO2 every day in order for the car to move. All kinds of polluted air have negative effects on health, economy and environment. Today’s generation is overproducing and overcomsuming products because humans are demanding more and more and expect to be satisfied and pleased immediatly. Many industries have tried to meet the expectations of their cosumers without looking at the consequences of their actions on the Earth. Tons of greenhouse gases are released from manufacturinngs every day to produce goods, services and food. Currently, China is ranked No.1 world’s biggest manufacturer, overtaking the U.S in 2010. The United States are ranked number 3 of the world’s biggest exporter. Both have a huge and considerable impacts on the planet’s pollution. China emits 6,016 million tons of greenhouse gases each year, and so occupies the number one spot of the world’s most polluting country. It is followed by the United States that were the world’s biggest polluter prior to 2007. They produce 5,833 million tons of greenhouse gases annually. Greenhouse gases have dangerous effects...

By 2015, China will lead to 21 percent emissions drop that shenzhen’s carbon market and 25,000 environmental officers will receive training. One million tons of greenhouse gases verifiably reduced via low-carbon farming. China also says it will spend $817 billion on a plan to drastically cut pollution by 2017. In America, many California cities have shown steady progress on improving air quality, particularly the Los Angeles region, whose ozone levels have fallen by 36 percent since the organization's first State of the Air report card in 2000. The region's annual particle pollution has dropped by 43 percent in that time and is now close to meeting the federal year-round standard for particulates. Progress has been made in the United Stated and carbon dioxide emissions dropped by 3.7 percent in 2012.
