Water Pollution1. 40% of America’s rivers are to polluted to
fish or swim.2. 46% of America’s lakes are too polluted to
fish or swim.Approximately 1 trillion tons of nitrogen
waste flows into the Gulf of Mexico in a year.An estimated 6 million people die from
drinking polluted water in the world.

Air PollutionVehicle exhaust contributes roughly 60% of
all carbon monoxide emissions nationwide, and up to 95% in cities.
