The environment is a major aspect of life. Many people do not take the earth seriously and think that as long as pollution does not directly hurt them then they can go ahead and throw garbage on the ground or spill oil down the drain. The people who hold that view are killing off our earth and also physically harming themselves from the air that they breathe and the water they swim and bathe in. People do not seem to understand that the earth is fragile like a human. Water pollution is a major aspect of environmental pollution. This type of pollution is scary because over 75% of the planet is covered by the ocean.
