Reflection task 2a

I have read news about the air pollution in China. The Guardian news argues that China has finally responded to the challenges caused by air pollution. China has encountered many problems related with pollution a few times, but it mostly ignored these problems and took a little measure about pollution.  However, this time the problem with pollution has caused so many debates among citizens that China is left no choice but to deal with the problem.  The measures taken by government are still inadequate, but China wants to seem at least as if it is interested in the problem. In my opinion, that the China ignored such an important issue is quite disappointing and upsetting because when they ignore this vital problem, they also ignore their citizen’s lives. There can be two ways to stop the pollution for me. The first way can be to halt or at least reduce using fossil fuels and using renewable resources because it can be said that the main reason for air pollution is usually using too much fossil fuels. When we take into consideration that China is an extremely crowded country, using fossils fuels even in a little amount can be enough for the pollution. The second way can be to limit the number of the cars as the China authorities has decided, but it should be implemented in long term. People should be encouraged to use bicycle instead of cars.  This situation should also be for all developed countries because in this way, we can save our world from pollution. To sum up, China should take serious and long term measures against the air pollution such as using renewable resources and encouraging people to use bikes.
