Smog and air pollution are major problems around the world, and we know they impact our health. A recent study estimates that toxic air shortens our lives by 20 months on average. That's according to the Health Effects Institute in their latest report on the state of global air quality. Smog and air pollution are now bigger killers than malaria and road accidents - and comparable to smoking. (06.16)

China is the world's largest producer and consumer of plastic products. For years, most of it has ended up in poorly managed landfills, which go on to pollute the environment and oceans. But, a series of new laws aim to significantly reduce plastic pollution over five years by phasing out single-use plastic, encouraging research and development of plastic alternatives and improving waste management and recycling. So, are these goals realistic and is China willing to kick its plastic addiction (05:28)

In the Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a king who was cursed to roll a
huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat
this throughout eternity.
A beach cleanup on Midway Atoll made us feel just like Sisyphus.
There
are millions of tons of plastics present in our oceans, and these are
constantly fragmenting into smaller and smaller pieces which are
scattered throughout the water column and present, in different
densities, throughout all the worlds oceans.

This21 minute video shows how polluted runoffs are dangerous to the habitat. Scientists are sent to analyze the water quality of the runoff. The video is very good for students to watch because it shows how water sheds work and the impact of storms on the environment. A real eye opener for some students.

Heat and pressure have turned the fossils of dead plants and animals into deposits of fuel, such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource, and they create pollution, so it is important to conserve them. Learn more about fossil fuels with this slide show from StudyJams. Details images are set to music while information is written under each photo. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

How Did A Handful Of Corporations Steal Our Water?Water is the very essence of life, sustaining every being on the planet. The video, Flow, confronts the disturbing reality that our crucial resource is dwindling and greed just may be the cause.
IrenaSalina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.
Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces manyof the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?"
Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.
