IN CENTRAL KOLKOTTA POLLUTION AND CO2 EMISSIONS ARE STILL UNCONTROLLED. PARTICULATE MATTER AND OTHER CONSTITUENTS OF AIR POLLUTION CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO RESPIRATORY HEALTH CONDITIONS LIKE ASTHMA. AS THE CLIMATE CHANGES, INCREASING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO MAGNIFY THE IMPACTS OF THESE POLLUTANTS ON HEALTH. INTRODUCING LOW CARBON FUELS AND VEHICLES, HOWEVER, CAN REDUCE BOTH POLLUTION AND CO2 EMISSIONS.

    I think the world needs to stop looking at how much money they can make for that new cell phone and understand that the money really won’t matter if we have no WORLD!!!!!!!! I think for the survival of our species we need to work together and put aside our defferences in order to solve this. I mean, (sarcastically) we can always go back and fight for power and money etc after we guarantee our survival. Thank you for reading this…
