In my city there are several pollution problems.

The most common is that people throw garbage in the streets and this makes the
sewers are covered and when it rains, the water does not disappear. But floods are
made in some parts of the city and cars sometimes break down.
This causes traffic and given that the cars are still on, it causes a pollution in the air.
But there is a way to avoid all this chain of problems is to stop throwing trash in the
streets, thus preventing the beds are blocked and stop flooding the streets. And if
this still happens, turn off the car when you can not pass.
