Pollution is causing enormous problems all over the world these days. Governments need to act quickly to stop this problem before it is too late.
The first thing I believe we absolutely should do is reduce the amount we use our cars. Our governments must to encourage us to use public transport. In my country, public transport is not very reliable, so the first thing that governments have to do is to ensure that buses and trains are a viable alternative to the car. They also should reduce the cost to the public of travelling on public transport.
However, it is not only the government that needs to make an effort. All of us should make some effort to reduce pollution. First of all we ought try to walk or cycle if we can, rather than using our cars. In the past people must walk or cycle because they did not have cars. It is a shame that we have become so dependent on cars now. Secondly, we should trying to share car use with our friends and colleagues.
All of us will must make some changes to our lives if we want to reduce pollution. Fortunately, we mustn’t make big changes to make big improvements in the situation.
