Air pollution in China



Air pollution is China is something that affects all people on earth now. Neither us nor the Chinese government can ignore the issue anymore. Something have to be done and not only talked about. Like it said in one of the presentations that the cities most heavy on the air pollution have reduced the amount of it but that A LOT of other cities have gone from green to "light polluted". The reason for that might be that polluted air have traveled from from the most polluted areas and not that they have been heavier of the burning of fossil fuels and coal. “Coal is indeed China's double-edged sword — the new economy's black gold and the fragile environment's dark cloud.” This is a quotation I found very interesting because I agree with what it says. Our environment is fragile and if nothing major changes occur within a soon future the future generations will suffer a lot of than we do. What I think is the main issue that stops the air from being more clean and humans to stop using fuels that cause bad air is MONEY. Everyone and everything depends on money. I'm sure that a lot of companies and factories wouldn't mind becoming greener if they got new equipment and stopped using it. But almost all companies and dependent on money that they have to make by themselves. Today during class when we presented many important and new statistics and facts was something I found very useful to learn. We live in China so our interest in how China increase their quality of the air should be larger than the people from the rest of the world. Many of us might not spend much more time in China so they don't care because we have enough money to migrate to another country if necessary, but imagine all those who are left. Generation before us have had the chance of doing something to stop this, I believe that our generation can be the last one to be able to change the dramatic changes happening to our earth before it is too late. Annually many thousands people die in premature deaths because of bad air quality. More and more children are suffering from asthma. using renewable things are a good way to solution. To stop the evil circle where all people have to pay tfor the factories wastegases is to give benefits and limit factories freedom according to my opinion.

Why don't people follow the healthy living guidelines?


We are affected by the media products wherever we go. In today's community we don't only see on the poster "We offer you a hamburger" for example. Now we can choose from many different brands selling the almost exact product with tiny differences so that they can own the monopoly on them.
Humans have the misfortune to be very weak when it comes to sweets, or something that sends endorphins to our brain which control many of our daily activities without we being able to decide how to feel about candy for example. Today the fast-food is a part of the food the children are raised with in most societys. McDonalds for example is attrackting the customers with only only food but with free internet. They offer to host children s birthday partys and birthday party's is somethingj to relate to a fun thing to do.

The risk of dying in a premature age increases if a person doesn't stick to a healthy lifestyle where they balance eating with exercising. For a few decades ago the thought of that this many people are overfed would have been impossible ti imagine. Back in the days, most people didn't have access to the food they needed to survive(some people still don't) and now they are throwing away the things that they need and change it to what they want, or what the brain is craving.

There is many people who benefits from the overfed people, many more than the people who doesn't(the people who have realized that their life style is unhealthy because they have issues with their body. The companies who makes the products. The number of directly employed people who make their living from making unhealthy stuff is huge.
In a long term the society change, or adapt to the people living in it, so if all the people are huge the cars are going to be larger, the seats on buses, or the airplane sheets. Nothing of that is good for the environment. All the money the I-countries spend on helping the overfed could help hundreds of thousands in the U-countries to survive and not die because of lack of food. Choosing a unhealthy lifestyle is never good in a long-term perspective.
