​Moths And air Polution By Mason Myers 

On of the moths that were affected by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution was the pepper moth. Before the Industrial Revolution a typica pepper moth was able to hid easier because the trees were whiter so the moths were able to blend in. But the other type, the carbonaria moth was not so lucky. It was the moth that was on the darker side. So it was easier to see by predators. But during and after the Industrial Revolution the trees became darker and the carbonaria moth then hade to advantage. But the typica moth was now trying to just survive. So things turned for the pepper moth, some if then were good but some were bad. This is just one of the moths that were affected by the Industrial Revolution.

Penguins are another species affected by pollution. Us humans have polluted the air and we are creating a hole in the ozone layer. This is causing the polar ice caps to melt faster and the warm and cold weather have had a dramatic effect on the penguins. They are starting to have poor weather conditions unsuitable for there babies on the North Pole. We have also been polluting the water for the penguins. We should stop these acts, we should use hybrid cars and on use aerosol cans. We need to not dump waste in the water but dispose of it properly. Putting waste in ware is bad and on one should do it.
