Air Pollution
When I read the article about air pollution , it brought back memories of one summer in London. It was hot and humid. As I was crossing Oxford Street, I felt physically sick simply by breathing the polluted air. It was extreme as I have not experienced anything on the same level anywhere. This highlights the severity of air pollution and what we breathe in on a daily basis in a built up area where traffic is flowing incessantly. That is why the importance of green spaces cannot be stressed enough.
