If you look at the world in some countries you can see pollution in the air. For example, California is known for its smog. Some days in China the pollution is so bad that it becomes difficult to see with all the fog from air pollution. London is also known for fog and smog. America isn't that bad yet, but it will soon follow the same fate as California if people don't start recycling. The world will get worse if recycling doesn't take place. Recycling will only help the earth. Recycling does no harm. People who neglect the act of recycling are negatively affecting the earth's environment. People's negligence in recycling creates greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing catastrophic melting of our glaciers. Global warming is caused by pollution caused by individuals and large corporations. When these huge companies operate without an eco-consciousness, they fail to make eco-friendly products to save our environment. People's interference in the recycling process creates too much carbon dioxide in the air. The old saying is true: a person never loses what he doesn't have until it's gone. The big picture is that this message needs to be publicized for this information to be recognized. It's time to stand up and take care of this earth. The human population and the Earth are like a family. When something is wrong with the land, it affects family bonding and relationship. For example, people rely on food, air, and water to live.

Environmental circumstances influence the spread of diseases. They represent one fifth of the world's annual deaths (De Souza, et al., para. 144). Mental retardation, respiratory disorders, cardiovascular problems and cancer are all linked to pollution (De Souza, et al..,
