Acid Rain!... Wait… What Is it? : 

Acid Rain!... Wait… What Is it? Acid rain: Water falls down as rain, snow, or sleet (similar but smaller than hail) but has harmful chemicals in the water that are dangerous to all living things. These bad chemicals are from smoke given off by big factories, coal smoke and even gas from cars.

Alright… and how does It effect the environment? : 

Alright… and how does It effect the environment? The circle of life (Not the song in the Lion King) is a delicate balance that is greatly disturbed by the harmful chemicals of acid rain. When trees drink polluted water they get sick and die. Animals use trees as homes and for food so when they use the use the sick tree or drink the bad water they also get sick and die. Pictures cartoons and tress i.e. bambi flower (skunk)

…How about bodies of water? : 

…How about bodies of water? Many different types of living things live near and in the water. Water is very important to all of these living things. So when it has been hit by acid rain the water is undrinkable and harmful to their health especially to aquatic animals that live in the lake or streams. Add pictures of little fishies or penguins, cause penguins are BEAST <(“)

…or animals? : 

…or animals? Animals such as birds depend on water for a food source, and if that water is contaminated by acid rain then… they get affected. Also there is a circle of life in the environment. (Not the song in the Lion King). If an animal in the lower food chain dies, then every animal to the top also gets affected.

Or Even Us? : 

Or Even Us? Although acid rain does not affect us directly, but rather plants and animals, it still affects us in some ways. When we breath in acid rain by accident, our lungs and heart get effected the most. For example asthma and bronchitis. (Which is not good)

So… What Emits It? : 

So… What Emits It? Add picture of a nasty old car that is evil and makes other cars want to hit it really hard because its so disgustingly gross and rusty!! There are many places that contribute to acid rain like; car fumes, electricity utility manufactures, and fires of any kind. It also comes from certain types of clouds and acidified soil.

Oh The Horror! What Can Be Done? : 

Oh The Horror! What Can Be Done? We can help the shrinkage of acid rain by having energy efficient cars, using less electricity with energy efficient bulbs. Also tell your parents to clean their exhaust pipe (The grey thing that sticks out at the end of the car). Add picture of a gay prius and all their gayness
