FOUNDER

Everyday Pollution

This project focuses on images of pollution all over the world. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse changes. Pollution is global warming for everyone many people know. we are trying to tell this project community what kind of problem are starting, that is why I started the project on everyday pollution in 2018.

A photo can challenge the stereotypes that distort our understanding of the world. Photographers strive to make images that convey a more accurate view of daily life than what is commonly seen in the media. The Everyday Pollution Projects is an international community of documentary photographers, visual storytellers, and journalists. Tag us #everydaypollution
