Unscripted Adventures

Take a deep breath. Now imagine the air you’re breathing is full of harmful gases and pollutants—microscopic particles that you can’t see but are damaging your lungs with every breath. This is the reality millions face daily, and the main culprit is silent but deadly: air pollution. I believe we still have the power to change this.

According to the World Health Organization, air pollution causes 7 million deaths each year worldwide.  This toxic mix of gases and pollutants comes from factories, vehicles, and even household activities, and can lead to diseases like asthma, heart disease, and cancer. The transportation sector, responsible for nearly 24% of global CO2 emissions, plays a huge role.

I firmly believe that the primary cause of air pollution is our heavy reliance on fossil fuels for energy and transportation, which billions depend on. But we can change this. By embracing cleaner energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower, and switching to electric vehicles, we can significantly reduce our environmental impact. Tragically, a 10-year-old girl named Ella from London lost her life due to air pollution. To protect more lives like hers, simple actions such as minimizing car use, carpooling, and following the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, recycle—can make a powerful difference.

I support the idea that none of us can make a difference alone. We need to join forces to push for stronger regulations for clean energy and hold companies accountable for pollution. I am sure that by working together, we can lower air pollution and create cleaner air for everyone.

Clean air is essential, and I believe that as guardians of the future, we must act with the environment in mind. Let’s work together to create a future where everyone can breathe freely. As the torchbearers of the future, we must act with keeping the environment in mind.
