materials and building of industries within the towns. Those who support the view that the most significant issue is vehicles may argue on the basis of increase environmental

In other words

, one of the major causes of air pollutant is the fumes released from machines. Take

for example

, the city of Lagos, according to the Global

Health

Institute in 2017, revealed that, we produced approximately 2.3 million tons of smoke which has drastically risen from about 1.2 million tons in 1990.

are many major factors affecting our communities. One of

such

is, the use of

plastic

bags.

This

implies that, the use of rubber materials

such

as bags and bottles has caused more harm than good resulting in land, water and air

pollution

. According to a research carried out by the United Nations in 2019,

for instance

, revealed that about 600 million tons of

plastic

wastes are being produced yearly around the world, and since they are non biodegradable it takes 100 to 1000 years for

such

waste to eventually leave the earth.

As a result

, more damage is being done to not only the

land but

land, but

the ocean beds and the atmosphere, of

such

materials are eventually burnt. In conclusion, while I believe that smoke released from cars are dangerous to the environment, I am of the opinion that there are more major factors that affect our surroundings
