Acid Rain: Smog, a toxic canopy over the environment, has
caused a breakdown in the circular process of healthy plant life.
Caused by smoke in the air to mix with rain from the air that can
harm plant life and human life. Low Birth Rates: Low birth rates
caused by women living in polluted indoor air environments during
pregnancy can cause the infants to have brain damage or even
causing of death. Health Issues: It is caused by an radioactive gas
that is released from the earth, can negatively affect overall
health. Chronic bronchitis, cancer, fatigue and other health issues
associated with outdoor exposure is another environmental effect of
air pollution. Cars: Cars are one of the main reason why our planet
is polluted. It pollutes our planet by all of the gas that is
decomposed from the cars that make it rise into our atmosphere. We
can save our planet by riding bikes and using a solar car that gets
its energy from the sun.
Slide 4
Do not litter Keep your environment safe Pick up trash Stop the
factories Dont burn items Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Dont smoke
Dont throw trash on the ground Dont throw wastes in sewers Ride
bikes instead of cars Try to use cars that get there energy from
the sun

Snakes, such as Burmese pythons, boa constrictors, and
anacondas, that are not common in the South Florida region, have
been released into the Everglades when they became unwanted pets.
Pythons and other big snakes thrive in the humid environment of the
Everglades. These reptiles are destroying the food chain by hunting
raccoons, opossums, bobcats, and birds. This constant hunting has
almost wiped these species out of the Everglades. Up to 17 foot
long pythons have been captured in the park. Their population is
growing rapidly and their prey is vanishing in the Everglades.
Slide 8
A federal ban has been placed on the importing of Burmese
pythons and other large snakes to the United States. We could
Inform snake owners they are not allowed to release their snakes
into the Everglades. Have rangers try to capture the snakes loose
in the area, and try to repopulate the species being hunted.

Extinction of Bird Species Due to Humans By Katie
Slide 10
Extinction of Birds Due to Humans The extinction of birds due
to humans is a rather large difficulty today. Our pollution,
deforestation, and use for food has destroyed both the habitats of
birds and the birds themselves. Many species of birds have been
wiped out that we never got too see. They could have been useful to
us, perhaps even holding the secret of the cure to cancer, or
something like that.
Slide 11
What We Can Do We can help stop the decrease and eventual
extinction of birds species by: MMonitoring the yearly population
of bird species NNot killing endangered birds in large amounts for
food KKeeping oil out of the water and MMaking sure that we do not
litter and our trash is properly disposed of.

Air Pollution Air pollution is caused by cars, trucks, and
factories. Pollution causes pollution two things, global warming
and destroying the ozone. We can help by car pooling. SAVE THE
EARTH.

Water pollution is a huge problem all over the world. It is the
contamination of water. Water pollution affects not only our water
systems, but it can also hurt people and animals.
Slide 19
Pollution of our water can also cause part of our global
warming. When fertilizer is dumped into lakes and oceans, algae
rapidly produces, and the algae produces carbon dioxide. This
causes the green house effect to be stronger because of that carbon
dioxide that was produced.
Slide 20
People need to stop dumping our waste into lakes, rivers and
oceans. We also need to clean our oceans. We need to have more
safety procedures on oil rigs, so that the oil spill in the Gulf Of
Mexico does not repeat its self, for the spill killed countless
animals and had horrible affects on our environment.

Slide 22
The Problem A lot of beach closings are issued because water
quality monitoring revealed bacteria levels exceeding health and
safety standards. The most common cause of water pollution is
dumping of garbage and waste in the ocean. Littering is one of the
biggest problems on the beaches. There is contamination from
bacteria and viruses found in sewage. Industries and factories also
cause the pollution in the form of chemical runoffs and spills. We
recently just had an oil spill a few years ago. They are still
working hard to try and clean it up. Other toxic metals, acids, and
salts are dumped into the bodies of water from factories. Pollution
can have a dramatic impact on aquatic species, such as complete
elimination and endangerment.
Slide 23
Polluted Beach Here is an example of a polluted beach, we can
work together to make the difference and make it safe for
everyone.
