Air Pollution

Air Pollution Song

(Verse 1)
The air we breathe, it's all around
But sometimes, it's not so sound
Factories and cars, they make it bad
Pollution fills the air, we're feeling sad

(Chorus)
Air pollution, it's a problem big
From city streets to countryside, it's a wicked trick
We gotta clean it up, for us and all the creatures
Let's learn about it, and make some features

(Verse 2)
In cities, cars and factories, they release
Harmful gases, that make us sneeze
Smog hangs heavy, a hazy view
It's hard to breathe, what can we do?

(Question)
What are some examples of air pollution?
(Answer)
Smoke from factories, exhaust from cars, and dust from construction sites.

(Verse 3)
In the countryside, farms use chemicals
Pesticides and fertilizers, they're not so gentle
They pollute the air, and harm the land
It's important to be aware, and lend a hand

(Question)
Why is air pollution bad for our health?
(Answer)
Air pollution can cause respiratory problems, heart disease, and even cancer.

(Chorus)
Air pollution, it's a problem big
From city streets to countryside, it's a wicked trick
We gotta clean it up, for us and all the creatures
Let's learn about it, and make some features

(Verse 4)
We can make a difference, every day
Choose to walk or bike, instead of driving away
Recycle and reuse, to reduce the waste
Plant trees and gardens, and give nature a taste

(Question)
What can we do to help reduce air pollution?
(Answer)
We can use public transportation, ride bikes, and walk instead of driving. We can also recycle and reduce our waste.

(Chorus)
Air pollution, it's a problem big
From city streets to countryside, it's a wicked trick
We gotta clean it up, for us and all the creatures
Let's learn about it, and make some features

(Outro)
Clean air is a treasure, let's protect it with care
For a healthier future, let's all share!

Text Bahasa Inggris	Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia
1. Is there anything being polluted in your hometown?	1. Apakah ada sesuatu yang tercemar di kota Anda?
Absolutely. As the industry and economy are on the rise (increasing), more and more factories are showing up, causing air pollution. Moreover, as people’s salaries have increased, more people can afford their own personal vehicles, which worsens this problem. Furthermore, there is waste dumped (thrown into) in the bodies of water, causing water pollution. Lastly, as there are many new construction projects and traffic jams, noise pollution is also on the rise.	Ya, tentu saja. Seiring dengan meningkatnya industri dan ekonomi, semakin banyak pabrik yang muncul, menyebabkan polusi udara. Selain itu, seiring dengan meningkatnya gaji orang-orang, semakin banyak orang yang mampu membeli kendaraan pribadi mereka sendiri, yang memperburuk masalah ini. Lebih jauh lagi, ada limbah yang dibuang (dimasukkan) ke badan air, menyebabkan polusi air. Terakhir, karena banyak proyek konstruksi baru dan kemacetan lalu lintas, polusi suara juga meningkat.
2. What are the common types of pollutions in the countryside?	2. Apa jenis polusi yang umum di pedesaan?
As many of the factories are built in rural areas, they are a cause of air pollution in the countryside. Moreover, the use of pesticides (chemicals to keep bugs and animals away from plants) and chemical fertilizers (chemicals added to make soil stronger) in farming does not help this problem. Furthermore, some people dispose of their personal waste into bodies of water, causing water pollution.	Karena banyak pabrik dibangun di daerah pedesaan, mereka menjadi penyebab polusi udara di pedesaan. Selain itu, penggunaan pestisida (bahan kimia untuk mencegah serangga dan hewan mendekati tanaman) dan pupuk kimia (bahan kimia yang ditambahkan untuk memperkuat tanah) dalam pertanian tidak membantu masalah ini. Lebih jauh lagi, beberapa orang membuang sampah pribadi mereka ke badan air, menyebabkan polusi air.
3. What are the causes of those pollutions?	3. Apa penyebab polusi tersebut?
Although there are many different factors to these complex (complicated with many parts) problems, I will talk about a few. I would say that the cause of these pollutions are due to industry, such as the factories. Moreover, farming contributes to this problem, as there is a high demand to have enough food for the increasing population. Lastly, water pollution stems from (starts from) poor waste management systems in rural areas, as well as ineffective operation of waste treatment facilities.	Meskipun ada banyak faktor yang berbeda untuk masalah yang kompleks (rumit dengan banyak bagian) ini, saya akan membahas beberapa. Saya akan mengatakan bahwa penyebab polusi ini disebabkan oleh industri, seperti pabrik. Selain itu, pertanian berkontribusi pada masalah ini, karena ada permintaan tinggi untuk memiliki cukup makanan bagi populasi yang terus meningkat. Terakhir, polusi air berasal (berasal) dari sistem pengelolaan sampah yang buruk di daerah pedesaan, serta pengoperasian fasilitas pengolahan limbah yang tidak efektif.
4. Have you ever done anything to help the environment?	4. Pernahkah Anda melakukan sesuatu untuk membantu lingkungan?
I could definitely do more! However, I think that small actions do count. I always carry my trash home with me to throw away if there isn’t a public garbage bin available. I would feel so guilty blatantly littering! Moreover, I choose to ride my bicycle or walk when transportation isn’t needed. Lastly, I opt (choose) to not get a plastic bag when they are unnecessary in stores.	Saya pasti bisa melakukan lebih banyak! Namun, saya pikir tindakan kecil memang penting. Saya selalu membawa sampah saya pulang untuk dibuang jika tidak ada tempat sampah umum yang tersedia. Saya akan merasa sangat bersalah jika membuang sampah sembarangan! Selain itu, saya memilih untuk bersepeda atau berjalan kaki ketika transportasi tidak diperlukan. Terakhir, saya memilih (memilih) untuk tidak mengambil kantong plastik ketika tidak diperlukan di toko.
