Breathing clean air helps us stay healthy. Air is made up of different gases, and one of them is oxygen, which our bodies use to convert the food we need into energy. And, the energy you get through oxygen helps you play, learn and grow.
When air becomes polluted, it becomes unsafe to breathe, and can cause breathing problems in kids, like you, and grow-ups alike. That’s why it’s so important for you to do your share for cleaner air.
Below are links to some fun websites with games and activities that can help you learn what causes air pollution and what you can do to keep the air clean.
