Only 8% of the world breathes clean air

     According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, 92% of the world population breathes in polluted air.
     This comes a few days after the article I posted about Brazil making a pact to join the Paris Agreement.  I think this statistic just shows how much damage we have caused and how it can directly impact everyone.  In the article, doctors outlined some issues that come with breathing in pollution.  It affects many vital organs like the lungs, heart, and brain.  It also causes premature death, at least 2 million per year.
     I'm so glad that many countries are working together to fix this problem.
