A sample from my paper :)

Many people think that since West Contra Costa has easy transportation because of the freeway, I-80 they’re in a safe place, but those people are wrong. Out of everyone in the Richmond community, 181 residents have asthma and 11 have died. This may not sound like a big number but out of 15 popular cities West Contra Costa in all the counties, Richmond carries the highest rate of breast, ovarian and phosphate cancers. The pollution from Chevron contributes to green house gasses and can cause serious complications to the human body. Not only is the pollution killing the people, but it is killing animals too. Animals are dying from climate changes, and over 15,000 wildlife species have become extinct. Before the industrial revolution there was a balance of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. For Americans in the United States, energy takes up 38% of the U.S electricity. Electricity isn’t the only source of energy that’s giving pollution to our atmosphere; fossil fuel is another source of energy.
There are many people such as scientists and organizations finding a better energy source to transport cars, but the only issue is finding an energy source that has good speed, and has gas that doesn’t run out too fast. As I explained before, right now because of the human activities fossil fuels are being let into the atmosphere, because of oil. Fossil fuels are caused from cars, trucks, and busses. All these different types of transportation. They are responsible for 50% of dangerous chemicals that are let into the earth’s atmosphere. Given the fact that fossil fuels are the reason why the air is polluted, but also why there is climate change.
Climate change is the statistical change in weather over periods of time. The climate change can be in specific regions or can appear throughout he whole earth.
