A delicious burger being grilled on environmentally dangerous grill.
This week in our The New York Times Upfront magazine, I read the article "Burger Pollution." This article was about how burgers and 18-wheel diesel truck that have driven 143 miles, create the same amount of air pollution, because of the grills that the burgers are grilled on. Also, it explains that fatty acids can fall into the fire of the grill and can evaporate into a pollutant that can cause lung disease, along with many other environmental impacts. The article states that students at the University of California, Riverside are studying these impacts and have designed a grill that traps the fatty acids in water so that the acids don't go into the air. I believe that this article was made so that it will inform students about our environment as well as make you want to disagree with it and see the harmful effects we have on our environment. I agree with the article's stance that we should all become more friendly to the environment, whether this means recycling, or composting, or walking places when we can. If we all lend a hand, we will be able save our environment from global warming."A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people,"(Theodore Roosevelt).
