"Airpocalypse now"
This article includes an analysis of the city of Baoding, China, the most polluted city in the world. The city is covered by smog and on a bad day people cannot see the building directly next to them. They are discussing ways on how to stop it from spreading and putting an overall stop to the pollution there. The smog is thick enough to see and can burn your eyes.
This really makes me think about the things we take for granted. Everyday we can look out the school windows and see a nice blue sky but the kids in Baoding see a gray one. And just opening our eyes in public we take for granted! The smog there can burn your eyes! I knew that a city's pollution could get to that point but I never knew how serious it really was. George Washington warned us about using our natural resources in harmful ways. It's a shame how little we listen to him.

Though we take small things for granted, are they people or nature polluted? If these are people actions, there should be a continuous effort to address the problem. -Cassidy Jones
