We love our cars, but we allow them to pollute our air because we don't keep them maintained. We continue to use fossil fuels that pollute the air. We refuse to carpool because we care more about our personal convenience than about breathing fresh air. Factories cause both air and water pollution. Waste produced by factories affects our air and water.
Water pollution affects life in our oceans, lakes and rivers.
Dead fish are found on the shore as a result. This is fish that could be feeding people, but we are killing it. Even in our recreation we pollute. Boating pollutes the water. People dump their waste in the water.
