What
is the black cloud ? Let's look out of the window at all the
smog and car exhaust from the chaotic frenzy below, I wonder, "Maybe it
would be best not to breathe too deeply after all.“ the air in Cairo hits you
like a 10-ton brick. You can see it, smell it, even feel it...the thick, black,
smoky haze that envelops the city is not easily forgotten. The air pollution in Cairo over the past three years has
reached record high! A thick black cloud hovers over the city all day long. We
all have been complaining. The pollution problem has been on the front page of
the newspapers, and it seems everyone has a different explanation for the
mysterious black cloud. Some say it's due to the farmers burning their fields.
Some blame it on the trash burning. Some suspect a top secret military
operation.
Clean air is something many people take for granted. we've all been complaining
of feeling worn out just from walking outside. Our eyes hurt, our throats are
sore, and our skin feels clogged. we had virtually given up hope---there are too
many people, too many cars, and too much industry. Cairo's problems with air
pollution will never change. That's the easiest thing to do after all... to give
up hope and lay the blame on someone else. Thank goodness there are dedicated
people who are willing to take on the challenge-like many organizations or even
students who works in cooperation with the Egyptian government. Can
we really make a change? Yes we can…you are going to ask how?...it's very simple
let's stand together hand in hand against that big problem and start with
ourselves…PLANT A TREE,RIDE A BIKE,STOP USING CARS….or whatever ,we are sure
it will help… How
Can You Help? There are many small things that you can do to help cut
down on air pollution. If we all start by making a few changes to the way we go
about our lives, our air, in fact the entire environment, may be a cleaner place
for us to live in! See if you have any more ideas to clean the air than the 40
ways to clean the air that we listed. |
