text: Along with beautiful clear waters, we also have our share of polution lingering in our mangroves and in our bay. Polution can be anything from a peice of garbage to smog in our air that is slowly suffocating our native plants. Even though down here we dont have a lot of smog, we still have to be awear of it and what it is doing to our neighboring communities. According to Elisabeth Ronsenthal,from the New York Times, "...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the United States"(Ronsenthal, paragraph 5). Also according to Robert Duffer,from the Chicago Tribune,"After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the gobal city"(Duffer, Paragraph 10). If we want to keep our beautiful water clean we should consider going to a limited car use schedual.
