The Visual Pollution
We create it and it destroys us.
Visual pollution is an aesthetic issue, referring to the impacts of pollution that impair one's ability to enjoy a view. The term is used to cover visibility, It limits the ability to view distant objects, as well as the issue of visual clutter, that is structures that destroy "pretty" scenes, as well as graffiti and other visual obstacles.
Visibility is a measure of how far and how well people can see into the distance. Haze obscures visibility.
The visual pollution like the publicity maybe don't have any toxic gases or things like that but if you want to make posters you will kill a lot of tress for the paper, if you want to make billboard you will cut trees down for make space, so if you think it’s not that bad, think it again.

Water Pollution
Is it too late to save the water, to save us?
Water pollution is dumping solid wastes in rivers and lakes.
Oil does not dissolve in water and forms a thick sludge.
Burning fossil fuels into the air causes the formation of acidic particles in the atmosphere. When these particles mix with water vapor, the result is acid rain.
An increase in water temperature is caused by global warming and thermal plants that use lakes and rivers to cool down mechanical equipment.
In my opinion, water pollution is one of the biggest struggles in humanity, because we need water to do almost everything. Water pollution can't be solving, but it can be reduce. By Fernando Miranda
The deforestation
No air, no animals no more Trees?!?!
Deforestation is the loss of forests due to the excessive cutting of tress. It is also the removal of natural vegetation.
The Causes
The causes of deforestation are :
1. The excessive cutting to extract wood.
2 . Generating more land for agriculture and livestock.
3 .Fires
4 The construction of buildings.
5. Pests and diseases of trees.
The deforestation is one of the most popular problems of pollution, affects the natural environment of animal because the animal needs the trees to live and the deforestation destroys that, and helps the pollution because the trees clean the air. By Jeffrey Yac

Acid Rain
A deadly rain?
Acid rain is a serious environmental problem that affects parts of Guatemala. Acid rain is particularly damaging to lakes, streams, and forests and the plants and animals that live in these ecosystems. The Acid rain causes acidification of lakes and streams and contributes to the damage of trees at high elevations and many sensitive forest soils. In addition, acid rain accelerates the decay of building materials and paints, including irreplaceable buildings, statues, and sculptures that are part of our country. Before it falls to earth, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) gases and their particulate matter derivatives contribute to visibility degradation and harm public health
“Acid rain” is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dries deposition (deposited material) from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulphuric acids. The precursors, or chemical forerunners, of acid rain formation result from both natural sources, such as volcanoes and decaying vegetation, and man-made sources, primarily emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) resulting from fossil fuel combustion. The Acid Rain can really make our life a hell. Literally it can provoke big fires and in the worst scenario the destruction of our vegetation. By Daniel Cardoza
