    Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:
    Environmental pollution is the biggest danger faced by our planet, the Earth. This danger is posed because of some activities of human beings, which are causing harm to our natural environment in a big way. Some kinds of pollution are visible, for example, a heap of rubbish or black smoke being let out from a truck etc. There are also other kinds of pollution that are invisible, for example, noise from traffic or machinery. Again, environmental pollutions are of many kinds, air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution etc. All the components of our environment are connected with each there. Therefore, one pollutant, like pesticides, can damage more than one natural system like sea life, trees, crops and others. This can cause the greenhouse effect or warming all over the Earth, which happens when the Earth's atmosphere traps the Sun's heat. Some of the pollutants include un- treated sewage, solid wastes like plastic industrial wastes like harmful chemicals; oil spills into the oceans from sinking oil tankers; pesticides, fuel exhaust from vehicles, etc. These pollutants damage water, soil and the air that we need to live. Some of the things that we can do to save our Earth are recycling as many different materials, like paper, glass etc, as possible, not using disposable like plastic containers, using public transport or car pools to reduce car exhaust fumes etc. Also, we need to save electricity and water whenever we can by using them wisely. So let's do our bit and save the mother Earth.
