problem of any type of pollution of your choice.

Sample- Introduction
Don’t you feel like it’s hard to breathe sometimes? Still, we don’t
seem to give a serious thought to the influence our habits and choices have
on the air, which is adding up to the dust particles, fumes (or smoke) and
odors that are introduced into the atmosphere, causing detrimental effects
on us and on our loved ones. Therefore, we need to take action to solve this
problem by regulating our anti-environmental habits and taking the
initiative for what could clean the air thus controlling air pollution.
Sample- One Body Paragraph
If we control our environment threatening habits, we can at least bring air
pollution to a standstill. On the community level, we can choose to walk, cycle or take
public transport rather than drive a car. We can also carpool whenever possible instead of
using multiple cars when we have a common or close destination. Moreover, we can
reduce, reuse, and recycle items we buy. This will reduce the need to treat that waste,
controlling released fumes and wasted energy; thus controlling air pollution. But can we
reverse the damage that has already been caused to the air?
Sample- Conclusion
In a nutshell, air pollution is a serious hazard for our generation
and for the coming generations; therefore, it would be wise to put our
heart into solving this issue through a change of habits that could harm
the air and attempts to undo the effects already out there. Otherwise, we
might have to breathe, one soon day, what could cause us asthma, lung
cancer, and respiratory inflammation.
