Pollution
What are the causes of pollution?
There are quite a few. But I think most air pollution comes from
human activities
. For
example, when our vehicles burn fuel to produce energy
greenhouse gases
are emitted
into the atmosphere and pollute the air.
Littering
is also a major contributor. When
people burn litter to get rid of them, a large amount of
toxic emissions
like methane or
carbon dioxide are released into the environment.
What have you done to protect the environment?
I try to avoid littering as much as possible. You know in Singapore you can get a $10,000
fine for littering in public areas. Also, I’m trying to give up my motorbike and travel by
eco-friendlier means of transport
like bicyles or buses whenever I can.
What are some common types of pollution?
The most popular type, which is also the most severe problem, must be air pollution.
Besides,
many people
dispose of
their trash into lakes
and rivers and causes water
pollution. Meanwhile, the rising level of soil pollution resulting from the extensive use
of fertilizers in agriculture is also a severe.

Garbage
What do you do if you see garbage on the street?
Frankly, I
could not care less
if it’s not my trash. In Singapore you can get a $10,000 fine
for littering in public areas. But this is Vietnam and there is no such rule.
How can we stop littering?
No matter how much money the government spends on employing cleaners and janitors,
the key to ending littering is people’s awareness. If we cannot educate people to change
their behaviors, littering will
remain as a big issue
