A global issue I’d like to help solve

Have you ever heard about acid rain? Have you ever seen the polluted clouds coming out of a factory? Pollution is really bad, and eventually it could wipe out humans.

Pollution from a factory.

 

Pollution is a cause for the greenhouse effect and global warming. Smoke from factories could choke us with pollution in the future. Earth could end up looking like Venus. Junk that has been thrown into the sea would wash up on shores and cut peoples’ toes.

At my house we already recycle anything that can be recycled. However, it would be good if there was a very effective way of reducing pollution. Windmills can replace factories and generate power, but they only work when it’s windy, and people don’t like seeing a windmill nearby when they look out of the window every day. Solar panels also have the same purpose, but they only work during daytime and need a backup generator at night. Also, they cost $19500 per panel to install. They are very expensive. Water mills work as long as the river is flowing, but they don’t support life in the river and fish get killed. And factories, of course, produce lots of pollution.

I would like to be able to research new ways of generating power without having bad things about them as well. What do you think about pollution? If you have an answer, please comment.
