What Is the Difference Between Effect and Affect?
5. Pollution
Pollution is very much a buzz word in this day and age, and for very good reasons. The pollution that we create is destroying otherwise pristine ecological habitats, and is also causing our planet to heat up to potentially catastrophic levels.
Here is a look at how you should use “affect” and “effect” when writing about pollution: That our planet is getting gradually warmer is an “effect” of releasing pollution into our atmosphere. It is the result of CO2 and other gases causing the greenhouse effect. You can also use the word “affect” in a similar sentence by claiming that the pollution we cause has an “affect” on our planet’s temperature.
