Diesel and petrol emissions, smoke from coal and wood, factories spewing smoke pollutes the air we breathe. Factory waste and sewage are poured into rivers and lakes, poisoning the water we drink.

Millions of trees, that provide our oxygen, are cut down and made into furniture, toys, doors and window frames. Reference :http://bit.ly/2L4mZcs
