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.
Kaaria and Jameel- http://urbangeographers.wix.com/port-of-spain
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.
