Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases


in the air. Car emissions, chemicals from factories,

IMPORTANCE OF PLANTS
9

 Plants are really important


for the planet and for all
living things.
 Plants absorb carbon
dioxide and release oxygen
from their leaves, which
humans and other animals
need to breathe.
 Living things need plants to
live - they eat them and live
in them. Plants help to clean
water too.

EFFECTS OF CUTTING PLANTS
11

Large scale tree cutting can lead to deforestation, a


transformation of an area from forest to terrain with
little vegetation. Plants create oxygen and absorb
greenhouse gases. The destruction of trees may,
therefore, encourage global warming. Changing
temperatures can alter which organisms can survive
in an ecosystem.
