"Mother Earth faces numerous environmental threats and I believe one of the major ones is that of air pollution. Air pollution is a major cause of ozone depletion and is a major threat to the Earth’s ecosystems, as well as, to human health. Due to air pollution, Mother Earth is being subject to greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming." Pooja Chitgopekar, Miss Air 2007 .[6]
