Trains, Trucks, and Pollution
Ships, planes, trucks, and trains are used to transport,
or move, our food. These forms of transportation all contribute
to pollution and global warming. Global warming is
what happens when we put too much pollution into the air from
burning fossil fuels like gasoline, oil and coal.
This pollution traps heat from the sun, warms up the planet,
and makes our weather change in serious ways. The farther
our food travels, the more pollution gets put into our air.
