China’s Pollution What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word pollution? China’s pollution is very different than the USA’s. Both will be interesting to learn about how each country is polluted. This paper is comparing and contrasting the pollution in China and the USA.

Did you know an estimated 300,000 people die each year from pollution in China? In the USA many more people die each year. The difference between China’s pollution and the USA’s is China’s air is polluted and our oceans around the USA are polluted. China’s air is polluted because coal is 2/3 of China’s energy and coal is a major culprit there. The oceans are getting very polluted because many people don’t recycle plastic. Did you know every year 15 billion pounds of plastic are produced in the USA but only 1 billion are recycled! All the garbage, people produce, gets emptied into the ocean along all the beaches.

In some ways pollution in China and the USA are similar! In both countries vehicles are a big polluter. Gas in the USA is very expensive because of the economy. But, China’s prices are very lower because everything there is inexpensive. But, overall vehicles are a big polluter in both countries.

Nobody likes pollution so China and the USA are trying to fix it. China is reducing the amount of coal and gasoline they use. Here in the USA we are trying to recycle more and pick up trash on the ground when you see it. Both countries are trying not to use their vehicles as much.

Both countries are polluted, but not in the same ways. China’s air is polluted from the coal they use. But, the USA’s oceans are polluted because plastic doesn’t get recycled and it ends up in the oceans. Both countries are trying to not use their vehicles as much because of the fuel or gas they use!
