One ofe the most poluted cities in the world is Mexico City. It is a city with a high altitude, so their atmosphere has less oxygen.
This cause an increase on polution and soot particles, that polute the air even more
Now the realized that they can't continue with that amount of polution anymore.
The city is trying to decrease their polution emission by using subways that dont use fossil fuel, using more taxis, encouraging bicycle riding and monitorating the air quality

21 millions of people live in a planice circled by mountains, thats already make the air not have a corrent to move, plus the pollution of the cars and industry, the place became justa a big pan, with a small entrance and a big and large bottom. Because of that people start to realize that is not a good thing so they star to take some measures, such as ProAire, those are programs to help take care of the air and pollution.

Mexico City is one of the most polluted in the world. Pollution in the city happens because it is a very populous city, and the majority of the population has a gasoline powered car, which is the main reason for the pollution. Another reason is that the city is located in a very high region where it has less oxygen, causing the smoke from pollution to be right above the city.

To take care of the situation the city has used more taxis, informing people to use bicycles and using subways that do not use gasoline

1. Because the hight altitude has less oxigen so the fuels do not burn completely, and the city has many mountains, so they block winds that can get away the polution.
2. -The cars have a vehicle exhaust system certified safe
-The government encourages the use of bicycles

karinaceleste2468 — 2020-11-04 18:17:39 UTC

The Mexico City is localized in a mountain local and a high altitude, so have less oxygen. To reduce pollution the government is encouraging the population to use bicycle and taxis instead individuals cars.

Mexico City is a city surrounded by montains on three sides, what makes atmosphere there have less oxygen there. There, the government worked in a project called Plan Verde, wich have 15 years now. This plan reduce auto emissions.

Mexico's city

In the Mexico’s city is very polluted, mostly for automobiles, but the geography contributed to it, because the city has a high altitude, so less oxygen on atmosphere, therefore the fuels don’t burn totally, creating high level of soot. So, this place takes many steps to reduce the pollution, for example the encouragement to that drivers exchange the cars for bicycles and the city has told drivers that they must leave their automobiles at home at least one day of week.

1- The geographic location of Mexico City contribute to its air pollution problem because the city’s high altitude is 7,300 feet above sea level, besides that Mexico is in a valley and around there are mountains. The mountains don’t allow polluted air to pass, leaving the air trapped there.

2-Mexico City is doing the best to reduce air pollution with Plan Verde. Then uses pub bicycle in short distances, put more subways lines and install a taxi fleet and bus system with energy efficient, and one day a week people need to leave her/his can in home.

Because Mexico is located in a high place, oxygen is less, but the amount of pollution is not less so it also contributes to making mexico very polluted, so measures are necessary to combat this problem as drivers using bicycles to reduce the gasoline burn and increase pollution

Mexico city is one of the one of the word's worst city when it comes to air pollution. The air quality in Mexico city is getting worst through the years. One of the reasons that this is happening, is because of the big number of people who live in the ciry and use their own cars. Another reason, is because of the fact that Mexico city's high altitude, where there is less oxygen on the air. Also, the city is surrouended by montais, witch stops the wind of drivind away the smog. Over the last 20 year the city government has worked to improve the situation by encoraging bicycle riding, monitorating air quality and using subways that don't need fossil fuel.

Use the questions bellow ro write your reflection about the Russia situation presented in the case study 2

1.Magnitogorsk is a city that is located really near from Russia’s “magnetic mountain”, and because of that there are many industries that collect and make iron and steel. These industries send a lot of pollution to the air, making the city an “ecological disaster zone”. Almost every person there has respiratory problems such as bronchitis, asthma or even cancer.

2. I personally think that 5 years is not sufficient to change the situation on these countries. But making a change is not an option, it is necessary. So I think that they can initiate programs for reducing pollution, and start making a few changes in those 5 years. (and if they continue they will be extremely successful)

Beatriz Quintero Cabral

2020-11-11 18:21:21 UTC

Health problems are so common beacuse the air pollution from iron-and-steel causes problems like bronchitis, asthma and lung cancer are common. And in Magnitogorsk they produce a lot of this air.
I think in the next five years is just be the start, the things will not change so much, because the pollution is so big and in five years will not be enough to solve the problem.

Maria Fernanda Avellar

MariaFernandaAvellar2 — 2020-11-11 18:22:03 UTC

1- The health problems common in Magnitogorsk are bronchitis, asthma and lung cancer. The children suffer the most from diseases.
2- I think it will be successful if the Russia population participates, as in case of Mexico City. The Earth needs help with all this pollution, not just Russia. So I hope it will be successful, to help the entire world population.

Eduardo

EduCoutinho10 — 2020-11-11 18:31:58 UTC

Magnitogorski is a city located
near Russia very polluted because of the amount of fumes that the industries that are close to Russia produce. For this reason many people have health problems, they end up inhale a lot of smoke, which damages the lungs.

I imagine that European countries in five years' time will reduce their industrial waste a lot and will be successful, because they are more developed and therefore there will be no pollution.

Health problems are common in Magnitogorski because of the air pollution caused by the industries of iron and steel, that cause a lot of problems to the air and the people breathig it. Almost every person there has respiratory problems, like cancer and asthma. I think that five years is not enought to change the global pollution sutuantion that's been happening for decades. Of corse it can change for better in five years, but this is not going to happen if the population doesn't help.

giftrotta — 2020-11-11 18:32:58 UTC

Magnotogorsk is among the most cities polluted in the world, because there are many industries that production iron and steel, which through of contamination the air and the soil, cause many diseases in the humans, like cancer, bronchitis, asthma, etc... Also, one study affirms that the number of children healthy there is roughly just 1 in 100. This situation shows the warning of pollution and serves to the countries and people have seen how important the preservation is of environmental. But Although that, I don’t believe the pollution will a lot of reduce in five years, after all the produce and technology just will grow up. But I really hope the self-conscience of the humans improve a lot.

In Magnotogorsk healthy problems like cancer, bronchitis and asthma is common on population, once the city is as producer of a lot of pollution air, because of that iron and steel industries. this is a serious and worrying problem, as it affects the health of the inhabitants, and especially of children. Personally, I think the pollution will not be reduce, and unfortunately will only increase. The number of industries will get higher and higher, and consequenty, we will have more pollution. But, I hope that humans believe in science, and stop a part of they machines and and become more aware of his actions in nature and how much it affects himself.

Health problems are so comuns because of the air pollution that came from iron-still burn. The principal diseases are Asthmas and bronchitis.
I think that if the country truly try, the pollution could get really low. Because, it doesn’t really matter if the country just say “ oh my god thats a lot of pollution” the politics and the people have to do something, or nothing is going to change.

recycling is one of the best ways to decrease the amount of trash that we produce. Using it can be good to help us save the planet, because throwing trash at the enviroment can cause a lot of natural disasters

clarashiraishi — 2020-11-18 17:30:50 UTC

we use a lot of plastic bags, plastic containers, plastic straws and a lot of other residual things.
we can diminish the amount of trash buying recyclabe packages or give to it a new utility

Beatriz Quintero Cabral

2020-11-18 17:35:26 UTC

I think that recycling is not always something that can be done, but when it is done it is always very good for the environment. People should think more about recycling when disposing of their waste, because sometimes it can be very useful for you and do something that you would not even think possible with something that you discard.

giftrotta — 2020-11-18 17:35:49 UTC

Trash is one of the environment biggest problems, cause it can cause many types of pollution. When we recycle, a gigantic amount of trash is not released on the planet, this way, the water and the air can be less polluted, Helping the current pollution situation.

The act of recycling is a great way to not produce too much garbage. When we recycle, we make the world a better place to live because when we do not recycle we make planet Earth a terrible planet to live on.

Beatriz Quintero Cabral

at the house we discard a lot of plastic, paper, some food that spoils in the refrigerator... To avoid this we can try to buy materials with less plastic, use only when necessary the plastic and the food give it to someone who works at your house, gave to the doorman or before making a new food, eat the remains of the refrigerator.

Maria Fernanda Avellar

MariaFernandaAvellar2 — 2020-11-18 17:43:51 UTC

recycling is the most accessible and simple way to help our planet. Children, at school, learn to recicle, but not all of them understand the importance of this act, which is take care of our home, our planet. Currently our world is very polluted so then we must give our best to turn the table and give to our next the best of the Earth.

Recycling is an excellent way of help our current pollution situation, it can decrease a lot of garbage which we produce, for example the plastics and glasses that stay for many years in the environment before being decomposed. After all, the recycling do we use the same thing that already been utilized, so producing less trash and pollution.

I think recycling can help so that, in addition to being easier and not dependent on so much money, anyone can do it and we can all help each other

Carolina Vannucci Fernandes

I believe that recycling is a really good way to decrease the trash and pollution we (the humans make). But it’s not always that we can do that. Sometimes the trash can’t be recycled, but, when they can, is a good way to make our planet a pollution less place, with less things that make our air be polluted, toxic and bad.

giftrotta — 2020-11-18 17:53:47 UTC

The thing that most cause pollution in our houses is plastic. We use lots of it cause they are everywhere, but they also are harmful to the environment. One of the ways we can diminish the pollution we cause inside our houses is stop buying lots of products tha have plastic envolve in their construction.

Carolina Vannucci Fernandes

2020-11-18 17:56:18 UTC

In our house, the trash we “make” is plastic bags, bottles, food, glass, etc. All this things (can be just a little), pollute the air. We can decrease that things recycling it, just bought that we need, with no excess. If everyone make little things por the planet, here can be a better place!

Maria Fernanda Avellar

MariaFernandaAvellar2 — 2020-11-18 17:56:47 UTC

Inside our house, with our family, we use a lot of plastic, we go to the market and instead of buying the fruit with its natural protection we buy the ones that humans put in packaging. All of us need to change the habits, to a better world, so we can use more natural products, decrease the consumption, prefer natural products without human interference, use less water. All of these are everyday acts that we need to improve, teach people. So, little by little our planet will improve and all of us too.

Eduardo

EduCoutinho10 — 2020-11-18 18:01:13 UTC

Various types of pollution also occur inside our homes: when we don't use double-sided paper, when we don't keep products that can still be used, etc.

One of the ways to reduce pollution in our homes is by recycling paper, separating garbage, avoiding using straw ...

Carolina Vannucci Fernandes

2020-11-18 18:02:59 UTC

Magnitogorski is located near to the “Magnetic Mountain”, in Russia. Industries there collect iron and steel, making the air be polluted, with a bad air and smoke. This makes the people there have so much problems, like bronchitis, asthma, and lung cancer.
I think that, if countries reduce their industrial pollution, in the next 5 years, the world will be a better place. The people is not going to get sick this easily, the air will be good, and the nature will get better again. Together we can make the difference!

Although it doesn’t seem, in our homes occur a lot of pollution, because we produce a lot of trash, like plastic, glass, paper etc... And if not properly take out, this garbage will go to the environment. Some ways of diminishing this kind of pollution, caused inside our houses are applying the 3 “Rs”, reduce, recycle and repurpose. For instance, it does a flower vase from the plastic bottle, or it reserves a trash can just for the recyclable trash. There are many ways of to help, and you can start for a simple idea, but don't forget the environmental needs you.

Every day and every hour, all the families in the world produce a lot of trash. Me and my family produces at of plastics and remains of food. And the most of the time this garbage is not disposed at the correct way. So, for we can have a great world, we must create a method of separating recyclable and non-recyclable waste. Another way to avoid this situation is eating organic products, that will be a lot of easier to decompose.

karinaceleste2468 — 2020-11-18 18:21:14 UTC

As population, recycling is the simplest action that we can do, and helps a lot our planet. Besides than economize money, recycling reduce the garbage which we produce.

Letícia

leticiamaiaz — 2020-11-18 18:31:40 UTC

The pollution is generated maily becuase the peolpe just discarted their stufs and never recycling them again. This big generation of "non-reusable" waste, cause the big and famous dumps. The trash generated, produce some liquids that can affect the soil and also an odor that can affect the air quality. So if we retulize products already used once, we can reduce the amount of dumps in the world.

karinaceleste2468 — 2020-11-18 18:39:25 UTC

In our houses we produce a lot of plastic bags from the supermarkets, plastic from industrial foods and other things, so, a lot of plastic. We waste a lot of paper, because of school, work or for print something. For reduce, we can think about use recycle bags and eat more natural things. Separate the type of garbage can help too. And about the paper, we can recycle the paper and produce other paper or something new.

Due to the high altitude the air becomes more rarefied and with less oxygen added to the large vehicle traffic, it leads Mexico City to have one of the worst air qualities in the world. However, the government is trying to get around this situation by making the green Plno which proposes a series of solutions to reduce vehicle traffic in the city for example encouraging the use of bicycles in addition to laws to encourage the citizen to seek other ways of getting around

Fernando Veloso

2020-11-19 21:26:55 UTC

Pollution in Magnitogorsk is so high because of the large steel industry installed there that it pollutes the air daily causing many respiratory problems in the entire population
I believe that the situation will not have changed so much in the next 5 years as the environment is not one of the priorities of the current Russian government

Fernando Veloso

2020-11-19 21:35:45 UTC

In my opinion recycling is an efficient way to reduce the amount of wasted waste that ends up becoming waste and further increase pollution rates

Fernando Veloso

2020-11-19 21:41:03 UTC

Much of the garbage we produce in our homes is recyclable like paper and plastic, so a good alternative would be the recycling of garbage and the correct disposal of non-recyclable garbage.

Alice

2020-11-22 22:53:31 UTC

I belive that recycling is really important and will make an huge difference for the environment. The trash is one of the biggest things that make our planet polluted, and if less trash is on the streets and ocean, i can afirm with absolutely sure that the world would get better. The recycling is a way to make the impact of trash is the ocean get lower, and if this happens the sea animal will not die because of it.
