As shown in
the movie Erin Brockovich, water pollution can be a serious and lethal problem.
Although no one died in the movie, there is a possibility of dying from the
diseases the unclean can cause. There are also other, more dangerous type of
pollutions than the one in the movie, and also less dangerous types. Despite
how dangerous the pollution is, they can all affect humans and animals. People’s
access to clean water is becoming more difficult through the entire world, but
mainly in the poor countries. According reports from U.N., half of the world’s population
is experiencing polluted drinking water. There are over 1 billion people in the
world who don’t have access to clean drinking water, and approximately 5,000
people die every day from drinking dirty water. As I said before, this also
affects the animals. Every year, over 1 million seabirds and 100, 000 sea
mammals die due to pollution.
I hope this
post has shown you, the reader, that water pollution is a global problem. There
is no simple solution to this problem, and I don’t have the answer, but there
are many organizations who work with this problem.

I really enjoyed reading this blogpost, because it contained a lot of helpful information and figures. I also liked that you chose this subject, because I didn't know much about it. The only thing I can think of as negative was that it would look nice with a picture ! HEHE XOXO MARTE
SvarSlettI agree with you that water pollution is a global challenge. And even if nobody died in the movie, they clearly stated when talking about the lawsuit that some of the people in Hinkley did not have much time. That means they were dying.
SvarSlettThis is a good explanation of the problem faced across the world. It is made better by the use of sources. I like that you discussed how the problem affects animals as well as humans. This is a good, well-researched piece of writing.
SvarSlettThank you:)
