Living in an era of entertainment where people’s focus and attention span stays active for around 2 to 3 seconds, because of new societal factors that we have all become accustomed to many things have begun to go unnoticed. Among many subjects and aspects of life going unrecognized something that people need to learn more about and keep in the back of their mind is pollution. People all over are ignoring the factors causing different forms of pollution and only making it worse as the days are passing by.

Basic information of pollution begins with the definition itself, pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change to the environment at a rate faster than it can be dispersed, diluted, decomposed, recycled, or stored in some harmless form.. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy.

Recycling is a common-sense task. The Earth does it; once plants or animals die, their bodies eventually return to the Earth to become soil and compost that supports the next group of plants, Most people may not realize that recycling saves Earth’s natural resources. Recycling plastic goods is something each individual is capable of doing. Manufacturers recycle also, by recycling plastic bottles alone, companies save up to 60 percent of the costs to make new bottles. If the whole world recycled aluminum twice as much as it already does, more than a million tons of pollutants would be kept out of the atmosphere. If more people just took the small amounts of time to save the Earth being such an easy task such as throwing a bottle into a blue bin we could make a worldly difference everyday.
