Okay now I am describing an environmental problem that has occurred in my country. Currently I am living in Malaysia and the main environmental problem that we suffered is air pollution. The main reason of this rising issue of air pollution is due to the increasing number of vehicles on the road. The more the number of the higher the number of vehicles on the road the higher the amount of unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide released into the air. As we know all these gases can cause the thinning of ozone layer and also will affect the greenhouse effect. So after all these years the temperature in my country has rose about 1 to 2 degrees Celsius and currently we are facing the detrimental effect of these such as extreme hot weather and flash flood. Beside that there are steps that have been taken by the government to solve these examples such as government had decided to improve our public transportation in order for the citizen to rely on trains and trains and buses instead of private vehicles. Beside that the government has also tried to invest in non-fuel vehicle so that people would use battery instead of petrol to function a vehicle. Next I think this problem is so important to solve because if the issue is not solved it can cause worsening of air pollution in my country and it might lead to a bad quality of life for the future generation.
