I had already known most of what we had talked about in class with the likes or urbanization and population growth. I even had somewhat of an understanding about future problems that would occur. One solution that I know of is that there is a growing movement of home made gardens. In cities there have been talks about having communal gardens at the tops of skyscrapers, or on balconies. This would help decrease air pollution, and give the people in the building a healthy natural source of food.
This is only a small solution and won’t be enough to stop the damage we do to our environment. I’ve heard that cities are starting to include more trees on sidewalks and make roads smaller. This would reduce sound pollution, which is a relatively new idea. The smaller roads would come with an incentive to use bikes or public transport to travel reducing pollution. There are a lot of examples of this in Europe. The amount of change that needs to be made is large and will face opposition, but it is not impossible.
