What children learn in Level 45

Welcome, Earth Keepers! Pollution is anything harmful that people add to the air, water, or land.
Air pollution comes from things like car exhaust and smoke. Water pollution happens when trash, oil, or chemicals get into water.
Land pollution is litter and junk left on the ground.
Pollution can hurt plants, animals, and people. The good news: people can help stop it!
