Urgent Action Needed: Polar Caps Melting and Threats to Drinking Water

Polar caps are melting at an alarming rate of 9% per decade, posing a severe threat to global drinking water supplies. If we fail to act, the consequences could be dire, with projections suggesting that in 30 years, drinking water may be scarce. Additionally, pollution from vehicles contributes to this crisis, as each car emits around 2 tons of pollutants annually while absorbing oxygen. Plastic waste harms aquatic life, killing over a million fish each year. We must recognize the urgency of the situation and take action for our planet's future.
