Picture This
Your body contains eight hundred
Trillion trillion Carbon atoms.
And that’s not just
Hyperbolic hype!
What is even more astounding is…
That one in eight of those carbon atoms
Recently was expelled as pollution
From a smokestack or exhaust pipe!
(adapted from the book “YOUR ATOMIC SELF” by Curt Stager)
