As you can see from the pictures above, the Earth looks very different from when Early Man was wandering around in the Stone Age! 

How come Early Man got to enjoy beautiful clean beaches, while we have to put up with rubbish covering our sands? How come they could relax and admire the stars at night, while we find our sleep disturbed by bright lights and noisy building work? Sadly, we only have ourselves to blame.

In this unit we are going to be looking at some specific types of pollution, and the human behaviour which causes them.
