Pollution In Your Cup

    Did you know that pesticides are found in 94% of all water! It's true. Water pollution is a big issue in our country but all of the politicians are too busy to fix it. That is why it is up to you and me. But not all pollution is from factories and sewers. Some is comes from farming. That's right, farmers are using too much chemicals on their fields, and it's killing our aqua life. But it's not all bad. People ass across the nation are stepping up and doing better things for the environment. And testing machines are getting more advanced. Although even with all these advancements pollutants are very dangerous!


    Chemicals from farming are actually a lot of the pollutants in your cup. For instance farming chemicals (such as pesticides) are running into lakes and streams as we speak. That is because when farmers use more than 150 pounds of pesticides is just runs off into ground water. This is a huge hazard because pesticides are dangerous to human health! The worst part is pesticides can get into drinking water and case sickness. So no matter what we cant avoid the consequences to water pollution!


    Peace, love, save the fishies. It's true. Our aqua life is dieing out. Chemicals were found in 90% of all fish. The reason he fish is dieing out is because fish can first of all get diseases. Also water that is polluted has a lower level of oxygen than clean water. Because fish use their gills to get oxygen from the water that means that fish can't breath. But it isn't only the fish that can be harmed from this. Humans can be harmed also. You could e drinking polluted water right now. Or if the water dose gets too polluted then the fish will get sick and then you can't have your fish fry. Or even if the land animals that we eat the fish or drink the water, they might get a disease then we cant have our burgers or hot dose. So remember if you plan to have a fish fry at a low price next 4th of July I have some advice for you. DON'T POLLUTE THE WATER!

    Luckily it is not all bad news. We are getting better at not polluting our water supply. States such as Iowa are doing experiments to save their water supply. Farmers are even getting the message to stop using so many pesticides. Plus tests are getting more advanced and coming back with better results. So the news is not good but it's getting better and isn't all bad.

    Lets recap. We are all guilty of polluting, even if you are an innocent corn farmer. If you want to have a fish fry you might want to think twice before polluting. Finally it's not all bad news advancements and harder working people are getting better. So remember this;  polluting is bad, but it isn't all our fault.
