When you think of how polluted San Franciso is, you may not realize that 1/3 of its pollution is actually from Asia. Research has been done showing that even though San Franciso is still causing a majority of its own pollution, it is not all to be blamed on itself. This study goes to show how when we emit pollutants, we are affection everyone around us in a harmful way. The next time you drive your gas chugging SUV down the road, think of how your harming organisms all over the world and even yourself.
This post relates to class because it shows how when we do something in the environment, we not only affect ourselves and our close neighbors, we affect everyone around the world. I personally believe that to know we are affecting the entire world when we are emitting pollutants is a major eye opener to how we should act and treat the environment.
