Let's turn our focus on the severity of air pollution into other countries, shall we? Since my other group members have elaborated on china, i shall do a post on our favorite Sombrero-wearing, tequila-gulping country, Mexico. More specifically, it's capital, Mexico City.
We have already elaborated on what actually causes the pollution of air itself, so we'll take a gander at what they are doing to clear the skies. Weather it involves driving less or smoking less cigars....i don't know. So let's learn together.
In 1992, the united nations coined Mexico City as having one of the places with the most polluted air. On the planet. (imagine their faces). Six years later, the same air earned Mexico the title “the most dangerous city in the world for children”, otherwise known as the Disneyland from hell.
So....the main point. What are they doing to clean it up? Well, certainly not with a mop and pail in hand. First of all, they figured that since the people were the ones who made the air filthy, the very same people would be the ones cleaning it up. Through games and participatory activities, Mexico's leaders helped forge a sense of community.
Well, that's all for today. Take a leaf out of their books, and learn from them. Check back for more, yeah?
