After reading the article titled, “The Pollution Within”, I was really dumbfounded. I could not believe that all these toxins were being consumed through crops, safety materials and water. As well, I figured that since America has the world’s cleanest water and most revolutionized “safety materials” that it should be free of harmful substances. However, after reading the facts, I realized that we are also the Earth’s biggest consumers of material such as plastic, which, when thrown away and burned creates super toxins which end up in the air we breathe and the water we drink. Once I realized this fact, I understood that deadly toxins are inevitable. Everywhere we go, we are exposed to pollution. The fact that makes this information so scary is that there are probably some toxins within me. It is a sad reality but an issue is only a topic of concern when it affects someone personally.
