World's Pollution Project

Introduction

How big is our planet?

We think that Earth is so big, that no matter how much trash and chemicals we dumped into it, the effects would be none. Many people think that because they can’t see their trash it has disappeared, and is not polluting anymore. This is completely false! Anything that is dumped will remain on our planet, for a long period of time. Earth’s ecosystems do not have the means to dilute or decompose all the plastics or chemicals dump into them.

All this garbage and contaminants affect the marine life and ecosystems all over the world.

Now it is your job to check the pollution situation around the world.
