Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspapers, we hear, see, or read about many problems in the world, for example, pollution problems.
Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains, and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many people are living.
The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people.
