Answer 1

Everything ends up in one of three places eventually:
– Air
– Water
– You (organisms)

Everything that comes out of a smokestack or tailpipe. Everything that drips out of a car or drainpipe.
Everything you discard in the trash.

Sometimes it happens instantly, sometimes it takes hundreds or thousands of years. But matter can be neither created nor destroyed. Best case scenario is to neutralize, dilute, or avoid.
