text: The enviornment houses us along with everything that supplies us with the means to live. In recent years that has been under attack by pollution. Acording to Robert Duffer one of the major issues of Paris, France is the increasing smog and pollution that has decended upon the city. The level of pollution rivaled the most polluted cities in the world: Beijing China. In order to combat the smog French officals have placed a ban on drving, and for those that chose to disobey recived a fine. The smog then cleared up to allow the ruling French party to rescind the ban. This should be an example for highly poluted areas everywhere. Not only does this perserves the enviornment but it also takes the health and well being of citizens into account.
