This is my persuasive essay on Car Pollution: ** Car Pollution impacts the Earth **

Car pollution has impacted Earth in numerous ways. Even though cars could transport humans anywhere and makes our life more efficient, nevertheless cars can also damage our environment. Cars can release poisonous gasses into the air causing sickness and disease to spread rapidly. Cars damage our environment by releasing toxic gas into the air. Toxic gas released into the air cause rays to enter our atmosphere, after the rays enters the atmosphere it cannot be released back out. Having more rays entering the earth will warm the earth’s temperature causing vegetation to wilt; the snowcaps will also melt because of the hot weather. Global warming is the cause of the avalanches. A recent news occurred on the well-known Mount Everest, on April 2014 an avalanche on the Mount Everest base camp killed 16 climbers from Nepal. After two days on April the 20th, 13 bodies have been found but they are still searching for the three remaining bodies. The Sherpa were really angry with the government because of their little payment offered to the victim’s families. The 22nd of April, the Sherpa explained that they would not work on Everest for the remainder of h2014 for the respect towards their victims and their family. While there are lots of toxic gasses released there are also dust formed from the cars. Carbon monoxide is a type of gas that is released by cars and they can cause headache. Human breathing in toxic gases can cause reproduction damages and is more likely to have asthma. Having toxic gasses released into the air can destroy the natural habitats of some of the animals that live in the wild. For example, mercury is a type released into the wild and can be absorbed by plants; herbivores digest the plants, which causes the poison mercury to stay in their body. It is dangerous for humans because these animals are right below the humans in the food chain. Most human haven’t realized how much we are damaging our environment. There are currently 1.015 billion cars running on the world and yet, those who own them has no idea of how much damage they cause. “The number of cars on the world’s roads surpassed one billion last year, according to a study that has spurred debate on what the rapidly growing car population will mean for the world’s economy and environment.” Mentioned in //Number of cars worldwide surpasses 1 billion can the world handle this many wheels//? Toxic gasses that are released into the air can damage human’s lungs and cause us to have disease that can be contagious. Even though cars can be a useful transportation and make our life more efficient, they also do harm to the environment as well. Everyday, the pollution level is getting higher and higher outdoors activities are canceled. As humans, we know how hard we are trying to help the Earth. Instead of using normal cars humans could use eco-friendly cars like hybrid cars, they could walk and bike too.

Watching Myself Grow Up  By: Liliane C2

Yesterday… I hated to go to new classrooms since I missed my old one, But I loved to make new friends and meet new teachers. I didn’t believe in ghosts, they only appear in ghost stories But I did believe in my parents. I was afraid of skyscrapers, But I was not afraid to trust my excellent secret keepers friend. I lostat swimming; I didn’t practice a lot, But I won at fencing; I worked really hard for it.

Today… I hate to remember locker combinations; they are just too long to remember, But I love all the new teachers; they are very nice. I don’t believe in not standing up for myself, But I believe in my partners. I am afraid of insects; some of them are harmful to humans, But my brother is not afraid of them; in fact he loves them. I lose at In-line skating; the summer is coming and my coach was not able to come, But I win in classic ballet because I won Royal Academy of Dance level 5.

Tomorrow… I will hate to grow up; I will have much more work to do, But I will love the mystery of the future. I won’t believe in the beauty of the future, But I will believe that I’m wise enough to take care of everything. I will be afraid of dying, But I am not afraid to be myself. I will lose all my time in dancing Academy and family events, But I will win my remarkable future. media type="custom" key="23734580"
