Answer 1

The rapid population growth causes us to make sacrifices at the environment's expense, to better facilitate our daily lives.

Air pollution does it all.  When rain falls through polluted air, it can turn to acid rain and eat away the facades of buildings.  Particles in the air also lead to lung diseases.  Plants are living and affected as well.

Air pollution can also lead to all those human diseases.

Not sure which acid, but I'm leaning toward carbonic.

Sulfur and nitrogen react in the atmosphere to produce acids.

The sun won't burn out for a while, will it? :)

And to answer your question, there's nothing wrong with beauty school, but a college education will take you many great places, keep at it!
