An analogy to solve pollution in our earth would be: “Cutting down dirty emissions and heat is like giving a cool breeze of fresh air to the planet.”

The metaphor mentioned above reflects to the problem in that it explains how humans should study and research methods of utilizing industrial waste toward having clean or recycled energy. This all relates to pollution problem and how industrial waste is a big portion of the matter.

An analogy of pollution and reducing emission is to understand that earth is being boiled with dirty emissions. It helps understanding the idea that emissions from industries, cars, etc.… cuts down earth ability to produce fresh air. The problem of emissions and fresh air is due to proven studies of heat not exiting earth atmosphere due to smog and fog caused by industries.

The metaphor suggests solving pollution through creative innovation in the field of waste management. Giving hope toward being able to optimize waste toward energy or somehow a matter...
