Do you think your city polluted? Is there any activity going on to control pollution. The city I am living is getting more and more polluted. The trees are vanishing and pollution in increasing. I don't think there is any major activity going on to control the situation.

Hi
Thanks for the response. The trees can prevent pollution in some extent. There are multi storied buildings all over my city. Now a days they are constructing skycrapers every where and this will destroy the beauty of the city also.

Yes. My city is polluted. I'm from the Philippines and our pollution situation is pretty bad. We used to have a beautiful river call the Pasig river but because of all the factories and people who dump trash in it, it has become a black and disgusting river.
In the morning, when you look up, you'll see that the sky is brownish. That's the air pollution caused by the great volume of cars here. We have a Clean Air Act that's supposed to solve the problem but no one is enforcing it.
Our landfills are filling up so fast that we have mountains of trash. The trash dump is called the Smokey Mountain because there's so much trash that it actually looks like a mountain range from a far. The worst part is, people actually live there.
