Air Pollution caused by transportation is a big problem, and
we need to take small steps to get to a solution that will be suitable for
everyone. The likelihood of this problem of being resolved is determinant on
the people that live on this planet. If we all work together we can achieve a
better quality of life, but resolving this issue will take time but we need to
further our knowledge to find ways that we can incorporate to fix this issue,
and maybe we can fix the problems that arise from air pollution. The lesson to
be learned here is that we need to take care of our earth because we only have
one and it cannot be replaced. We have become a population that is consumed
with technology that helps us advance, but it also taking a toll on the planet.
In Los Angeles we need to change the ways we use transportation as well as
other regions that can lower the amount of pollution that vehicles release, and
this can be achieved by people being aware of this problem because we are the
ones that need to fix it.
