336 - What is the importance of clean air and water?

Clean air and water are very important for our health and the environment. Here's why:

1. Clean air: We need air to breathe to stay alive. When the air is clean, we don't get sick easily. But when the air is polluted, it can cause problems like coughing, headache, and even serious diseases like lung cancer.

2. Clean water: We need water to drink, wash, and grow food. When the water is clean, we can stay healthy and strong. But when the water is polluted, it can have bad things like germs, chemicals, and dirt that can make us sick.

To keep ourselves and the planet healthy, we need to take care of our air and water by:

• Not throwing trash in rivers and oceans
• Not using too many things that pollute the air
• Saving water by turning off the tap when not in use
• Planting trees to help clean the air

Remember, taking care of air and water is taking care of ourselves and our planet.
