What is pollution? Pollution is "to make impure and to contaminate with man made waste." as defined by Webster dictionary. Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. It is a major problem in North America and as well as the world. Pollution not only damages the environment, but also damages our vital life sustaining needs such as the water we drink. Pollution problems have arisen in all industrialized areas as well as in various inland and coastal waters. Everyone at one time or another has probably heard the phrase "every dollar counts". In fact, this is very true to big business corporations and companies because they make every dollar count even if it pollutes the water which, organisms depend on. Pollution is an obvious problem in our world today. Therefore, it is extremely important that we take action by making companies pay for their own mess, because soon there will be serious consequences that we may face in the future which, might lead to our extinction on earth.
