Reflection Post

Our reflection based on this blog.
It was a fascinating journey to be able to pay attention to urban ills of pollution and look at in-depth effects that it has on our society. Pollution such as air, water, land, dust, thermal, soil, plastic and noise were looked at in relation to specific elements of society and recommendations were given to reduce these levels. It can be seen that most pollution is due to man-made activities and only we can stop the impacts it has on our environment. Society today has become accustomed to the pollution all around without even paying attention to how serious causes and effects of it can be. It is our right to help in any way that we can to reduce, reuse and recycle every waste material possible, so that pollution would be reduced. It is very difficult to eradicate pollution in its entirety, therefore we must find a way to help decrease.
This blog has other related blogs in which can be helpful in doing further research on pollution and its effects on society.
They spoke about topics relating to urban ills such as pollution of rivers, deforestation and other harmful effects that man has caused pollution through, due to selfish gain of money. These are all effects which society does not pay attention to as it has become a norm to see destroyed lands and wilted vegetation.
All things which makes urban areas pulse and feel alive are happening right where all things makes urban die slowly. Pollution is seen in vast amounts all over the streets of Port-Of-Spain, while it’s these same streets which brings in the revenue for the country by hosting tourist attraction sites. This is contradictory to the people of society as they claim to love their country while defacing it at the same time. 
Urban deception can be linked to our blog since it can be seen that there are many problems faced by people and their decisions of everyday life. This shows how humans think an what makes them cause pollution.
