To begin, I want to introduce the concept of acid rain. In essence, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides begin to ascend high in the sky. They can interact with elements such as oxygen and water, forming acid pollutants as a result.

One of the main problems associated with acid rain can be traced to forests. When these acidic products come in contact with the soil, they deprive essential nutrients from the soil (such as calcium). In doing so, they hinder the growth of trees. Furthermore, aluminum may be scattered in the soil when acid rain comes in contact with the surface, again making it harder for trees to consume water. These problems are encountered especially in higher elevations, where acidic clouds may come in direct contact with the trees. Interaction between the clouds and leaves make the tree more vulnerable to become infected.

A simple solution for acid rain would be to promote sustainable energy sources (renewable), to reduce the amount of pollution that is being produced in our environment.
