What change will you make in your city?

Have you thought that you city is not the way you want it to look like? That’s for me too, I sometimes think when that our city is too polluted, why, I never saw a night with full of stars. Well I know that if you got to the country side then I would see a bunch of them, but not in my city, and even in other cities or states and even over all the world. The whole world is know getting polluted. The problem that I will solve in my city, is stopping the pollution and also the trash problem. The reasons, this is why I want my city to be not polluted because I don’t want people to see our city as a polluted city. I think that most people want their city outstanding, it means to that outstanding is first it should be mostly clean. With not that then nobody will think that our city is good. I think having a clean city then it will feel proud. The second reason that I think that my city is clean is because it is good to have a clean city. You can breathe good air and also no trash. It is good for me but also to the society. It is clean so nobody gets disease like cancer or neither their will be a global warming.It is good to have a clean city. The last reason that I think that my city should be clean is because it will like the past but high technology. You can go anywhere and drink and you don’t need to worry about acid rain, and the weather would be all normal, it would be fine to do anything in the lakes or the rivers. In conclusion, I think my city should be clean because it is good to see, it reduces disease, and you don’t need to worry about the weird weather that the pollution made.
