"I don't want to go to school!" cried Kelly. It was true. She didn't want to go to school. Kelly's mom heard the complaint, but it was moot. Kelly's mom never wanted to go to school either, but she went, and now it was Kelly's turn.

1Our world is paying a stiff price for chronic air pollution. 2If dramatic changes are not made, pollutants will continue to rob us of money and health. 3They damage buildings and automobiles. 4Crops, livestock, roads, and metals are all hurt by air pollution. 5We must pay millions to clean everything from soot-blackened buildings to curtains dirtied with pollutants. 6If nothing else can persuade us to cut down on air pollution, perhaps the threats to our health will. 7Our bodies are paying the highest price of all for living in a polluted land. 8Breathing the air in New York City is equivalent to smoking several packs of cigarettes a day. 9The poisons in the air accumulate in our bodies, leading to bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer.
