This image shows the endless cycle and movement of pollution. Many people are uninformed on how pollution can move from one habitat to the next. It is commonly perceived that pollution on land only effects that immediate land. What is not understood is that for instance a landfill releases toxic chemicals into the air, these chemicals then enter the clouds. From here these toxins can travel many miles until they are released through precipitation. They can then run off into bodies of water or be re-evaporated and move again. This is a never ending cycle very accurate displayed in the above image.
