**Our death path, Earth Pollution**
What benefits does earth pollution give to humans? Earth pollution is our death path. People still don't understand how serious the earth pollution is. Look around you. Can't you see mountain of trash all over the street? What about all the noisy sounds going on the road because of the cars?

Please join us to explore how important is to stop the earth pollution and help us to save our Earth!

This site is really good. This site gives me all the information about Earth pollution. This gives me many different kinds of pollutions that are happening on Earth, and how people are trying to fix the problem.

- Also called by contamination

- Caused by humans

- Already so great that some scientists question whether the Earth can continue to support life unless immediate corrective action is taken

- Ecology and Environmental Deterioration: extinction of a number of plant and animal species

- Population Growth and Environmental Abuse: cities are overpopulated because of people who have left rural homes in search of food, shelter, and employment (some farmers have been forced off their land by drought and famine) / industrial development improved the standard of living, however - great environmental cost

- Air Pollution: huge amounts of fuel - when fuels burn, introduce smoke and other, less visible, by-products into the atmosphere / Although wind and rain occasionally wash away the smoke given off by power plants and automobiles / smoke from factories & cars combines with naturally occurring fog to form smog

- Water Pollution: effect caused by heavy concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus, which are used by plants for growth. / Factories turn waterways into open sewers by dumping oils, toxic chemicals & other harmful industrial wastes into them

- Land and Soil Pollution: DDT - Dangers of introducing synthetic chemical compounds into the environment

- Radioactive Pollutants: cosmic radiation that constantly strikes the Earth

- Thermal Pollution: Greenhouse effect - well balanced: good, keeps the Earth warm, but now not balanced: rising global temperatures - heating up

- Noise Pollution: clap of thunder has an intensity of about 100 decibels / sound at or above the 120-decibel level is painful and can injure the ear / steady noise at just 75 decibels over numerous hours has the potential to harm hearing - what’s happening in cities, where the combination of sounds from traffic and building construction reverberates among high-rise buildings

- Efforts to Halt Pollution: people trying to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases, having The Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, all different efforts are going on

This is a video that shows the human impact on Earth. While I was searching for a video about Earth Pollution, I chose this one because I thought it will be much easier when I show what humans did to our Earth and it might help people to start really worry about the pollution. I saw this video, and I really felt that we must do something to change our world, getting rid of the pollutions. I hope people who see this video feel the importance like I did.

Do you know Disney Chanel? Disney Chanel once did a project that is called "Disney Friends for Change project Green". They made this project to save the Earth. I found a video about this project in Youtube, and I thought it will help a lot to feel the importance of Earth, especially because popular singers are included in this video. This is the main music video which includes all the popular singers that were part of this project, and you can find more videos of each singers.

 * (P) Form questions:
 * Form - What is it like?
 * Function - How does it work?
 * Causation - Why is it like it is?
 * Change - How is it changing?
 * Connection - How is it connected to?
 * Who, What? Where, When, Why,
 * How, What if? How? So what? || [[image:Screen_shot_2012-05-22_at_8.10.13_PM.png width="800" height="381"]] ||
