Text :
Pollution is caused by many things we do in our daily lives. One big
cause is the smoke and chemicals that come from cars and factories. When we
drive cars or trucks, they burn fuel like gasoline, which releases smoke into the
air. Factories make things we use, but they also release smoke and chemicals
into the air and water when they make stuff.
Another cause of pollution is trash. When we throw litter everywhere , it
can end up in rivers, oceans, or just sitting on the ground. This can harm
animals and plants, and even make people sick if they drink contaminated
water or breathe in polluted air. Even simple things like using too much
electricity or cutting down too many trees can cause pollution. When we use a
lot of electricity, power plants burn more fuel to make it, which releases more
smoke and chemicals into the air. And when we cut down trees, we take away
the plants that help clean the air
