Air Pollution In the US

Air pollution is caused predominantly from burning fossil fuels. Natural sources of air pollution include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal, evaporation of organic compounds, and natural radioactivity. These natural sources of pollution often soon disperses and thins settling near its locale. However, major natural events such as volcanic activity can convey throughout the air spreading, thinning and settling over continents. Fossil Fuels burning for heating, electrical generation, and in motor vehicles are responsible for about 90% of all air pollution in the United States.

Stop the Keystone oil pipeline

The planet is heating up. Since 2000, we've experienced 13 of the 14 hottest years on record and this past year was the hottest. Scientists say there’s a limit to how much carbon we can add to the atmosphere before global warming spirals out of control. We’re starting to bend the curve of rising emissions, but not quickly enough.

National Parks Sparks new Problems

http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/top-10/national-parks-issues/

What are large areas of land that is protected by a national government because of its natural beauty or its importance to history or science? A National Park, of course! Sadly there are many problems with these parks such as pollution, water, and even budget to help maintain the parks. The article I read really shows how big and how many problems we have with our parks. We have to act fast to save these beautiful parks. There are even more but this article shows the big ten that everyone needs to help with.

Heart Disease is Increasing in America

http://millionhearts.hhs.gov/abouthds/cost-consequences.html

Every year, 1.5 million Americans have heart attacks or strokes. In addition to that, 800,000 Americans die of Cardiovascular Disease every year, that is 1 in every 3 deaths. Also, over 3 million people in the US have reported themselves to be disabled because of a heart condition. As Americans exercise less and less, as well as choosing to eat poorly, their hearts become worse and worse. If we don't find a way to prevent this disease more effectively, it could effect even more people.

Cancer in the US

It is estimated that in about 16 years, cancer will be the disease that killed the most people in the US, surpassing heart disease. Not only that, but it will also impact the pay of the doctors who treat these cancer patients. It also costs a lot for the patients to pay for the radiation therapy and the anti-cancer drugs, which don't even work as well as they used to, and are therefore ineffective.
