Let's Breathe Clean Air

Every day, there are millions and millions of cars on the streets of the world, and they cause many problems for our planet. If we don't do something about these problems soon, we will not have enough fresh air to breathe.

One big problem caused by cars is carbon dioxide. This is a gas that comes out of cars when they burn petrol. It harms the atmosphere because it leads to smog. Another problem, is that the fuel cars run on is running out. Petrol comes from oil which is a natural product that we find in the earth. If we continue to use so much of it, soon there will not be any oil left.

Can we do something to help our planet? Of course we can. One way is to make people car pool. This means that people who work at the same place can go to work in one car. Also, we should start taking the bus or the train to go somewhere and not use our cars.

If people start doing simple things like these, we will all be able to breathe the kind of fresh air that people used to enjoy many, many years ago!
