Pollution causes one in six deaths worldwide

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/pollution-causes-deaths-worldwide A new study has been published by environmental nonprofit Pure Earth shows that pollution is linked to 16 percent of deaths worldwide. One way the group measured this was to look at people who died of lung cancer and recognize which were affected by lung cancer because of pollution. This is a significant number of people affected by something that humans have caused. We're slowly killing ourselves. This study hopefully will be a eye-opener for people to realize that we cannot put taking care of the environment on the back burner. -Emily Migala
