Factories and Building

Have you ever been to north Edmonton, Sherwood Park or Hinton? Have you ever seen those white, grey or black thick clouds billowing out of factory chimneys? If yes, then you have witnessed one of the greatest factors in air pollution. When coal and other chemicals are burned for energy and fuel they product waste gasses.

So why don't we shut down all these factories? Well, factories are important, they produce many things that we use daily, paper, pens, clothe, even computers. But they also produce many things we could live without, such as toys, games and makeup. (do we really need those things). Sometimes using fatories are worth it, to get what we need,  but other times we are just polluting our air for things we don't really need, or use.

But fatories are not the only building that produce waste gasses. Basically every building creates some sort of waste. In Canada every home, office, school and hospital are heated in the winter, and every home, office school and hospital are cooled in places like Florida. To heat and cool the building that we are in regularly we must and do, burn fossil fuels, coal and natural gas.

Even you, by turning up the heat, or buying a new video game, can contribute largly to air pollution. But maybe if you turned down the heat instead of up or used less, man made objects, you could help us

slow down air pollution.

 Because by burning these non renewable resourses we are putting many chemicals, known and unknown into our air.
