I have always known that India is an over populated country, however I’ve never really focused on the effect that so many people in one area have on the planet. When I think of the population problem in India I automatically think of the traffic because of the many pictures I have seen and not the pollution that is inevitably produced by that many people. It honestly makes me really sad to see how the citizens of Delhi and other cities in India are forced to live in such uncomfortable conditions every day. In our country we understand that pollution is not something to take lightly, but in all honesty I don’t believe most Americans understand how bad conditions can get. The efforts taken by the Indian people in order to try to breathe and live normally are steps that shouldn’t have to be taken. The fact that people are forced to wear face masks in order to better their every day lives is really devastating. This whole article demonstrates the importance of being aware of the effects that human beings have on the planet not only for the health of the planet but for the health of the human race. The big question is how is the government of India going to fix their pollution problem? Efforts definitely need to be taken in order to improve the living conditions of the Indian people. The article continues to talk about other methods that are taken in order to live in the current unfavorable conditions and they are actually kind of interesting. The idea that eating sour green fruits help with the immune system and prevents sickness is really cool but it’s also sad that these steps are being taken. The article emphasizes the issue more when talking about how the kids are affected and how they aren’t allowed to go outside during school. Pollution is a problem that is very serious and it is really unfortunate that the Indian people have to live their lives experiencing it in such severity. I hope that in the future, the country will figure out a way to improve the quality of living.
