• 21,000 Canadians die pre-maturely from the effects of air pollution each year
• Air pollution is mainly associated with asthma, and cardiovascular disease
• We breath 20,000 times a day, that's 10,000 litres of air passing through us, and most of its pollution

GROUP FEATURED

Michael Brauer and coresearchers Conor
Reynolds and Perry Hystad argue that there is an accumulating body of evidence showing negative health effects from traffic-related air pollution. They suggest various actions that may be taken, including copying European cities that levy fees on cars in congested and filthy areas to reduce the amount of
traffic. Also this group has mentioned creating a transit to help reduce car pollution in British Colombia.

ANIMALS THAT ARE NEEDED TO BE PROTECTED

• FISH & AQUATIC ANIMALS.
• SKUNKS & RACCOONS.
• DEER, MOOSE & BIRDS.
• BEARS, COYOTES & WOLVES.

SUCCESSFUL OR ONGOING?

• We have been successful about creating electric cars
• We have also been successful for making bicycles
• Humans have also created low gas using vehicles

STEPS HUMANS HAVE TAKEN

• WE HAVE MADE LOW GAS USING VEHICLES
• WE'VE INVENTED ELECTRIC AND SOLAR CARS
• WE HAVE CREATED BICYCLES, AND BC TRANSIT

REFLECTION ON THE ARTICLE

We think the article was well organized with lots of supporting details, and facts. We were shocked to learn so much about this air pollution in BC. We liked how the writer mentioned how a group of people can make a big impact on our lives. One question is how it would effect the future. We hope that one day, all around the world, everyone would be driving eco-friendly vehicles, or using public transits. Another question is how did they come up with such a creative idea, and what was the process like of making so revolutionary?
