You know when your mom tells you not to pick at your face because you're going to end up with some horrible growth and then you just ignore her and keep picking until you realise that the pimples on your face spell "Should have listened!". Well pollution's just like that; as long as you don't see whatever all these environmental documentaries are calling the "horrific consequences of throwing that tiny plastic wrapper on the grass" affecting your life, you won't see the problem as that serious.
Pollution affects your body as well, especially air pollution. It attaacks the lungs, skin and even hair! The cause is that sunlight tends to break the components of air pollution into very small, very reactive particles called free radicals (bit of chemistry for you there, I promise it will only happen once). This particles are very harmful and can cause skin cancer, and other cancers as well as messing with your hair and your inisdes and it has been linked with faster aging of the skin!
Now ignoring the warning does not make you a horrible person it just makes you a completely normal human being, I mean most of us ignore our own warnings telling us stuff like "Maybe watching this incredibly addictive series before doing really important homework due for the next day isn't such a great idea (especially when you're in possession of the whole season...)", so how are we expected to listen to strangers's advice? Well because pollution gives you pimples. That's right, and when you go ahead and ignore my warnings I will get the sastisfaction of reading "She was right!" on your face.
