#cities #world
It is irrefutable that
pollution
 has become a huge concern for us.
Pollution
 is increasing
day
 by
day
 in several metropolitan cities across the globe. Industrialization and decomposition of organic
waste
 are the main reasons behind
pollution
. Despite having problems with
pollution
, several measures can be taken to overcome
this
 problem.
To begin
, there is a drastic change in our habits after industrialization. In
this
 modern ,era we all are so dependent on technology, that we can't even think about doing something without it.
This

 lead to overexploitation of our natural resources,
for example
, for our
day
 to
day
 travel we are so dependent on our personal vehicles causing
pollution
 in cities. As more cars in traffic would result in a higher amount of carbon dioxide exhaust,
thus
 having detrimental effects on the urban atmosphere.
Furthermore
, littering should
also
 be put under equal consideration since it has the potential to cause massive damage. Decomposing organic
waste
 could generate a terrible smell, degrading the quality of life in that area
for instance
 the Lich river was once a spot for locals to dispose of their
waste
.
As a result
, the smell became unbearable, decreasing property value as well as the quality of life.
On the other hand
, there are various steps that can be taken by the government as well as by each individual to reduce
pollution
.
Firstly
, the government should organise various campaigns on "correct ways to dispose of
waste
" to spread awareness amongst locals and they
also
 penalize people for littering and dumping
waste
 in lakes.
Secondly
, citizens should be encouraged to use public transportation, so that traffic and air
pollution
 can be reduced. To conclude,
pollution
 is a worldwide problem that can not be solved in a
day
 but requires constant efforts by each and every living soul on
this
 planet. By reducing the use of natural resources and promoting public transportation we can solve
this
 problem and live a better life.
