The document discusses several environmental issues affecting the local and global community, including deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, destruction of coastal resources, and acid precipitation. Deforestation results in soil erosion, floods, and decreases in wildlife. Water pollution occurs when organic nutrients increase in bodies of water, poisoning fish. Air pollution from cars produces harmful gases. Coastal areas are being destroyed by activities like deforestation, damaging coral reefs and mangroves. Acid precipitation, or acid rain, is made more acidic by pollutants from factories and vehicles, and can harm living things.
