text: Smog is a big problem in countries around the world. And helping our environment is a pretty good reason to limit car use. Smog is not something we need to worry about in most of America, although the fumes released from cars do damage the ozone layer of our atmosphere. The sun releases solar flares from its surface and these solar flares hit our atmosphere. Fortunately it is strong enough to withstand the hits. But our atmosphere is weakening with all the fumes trapped inside eating it away from the inside and these solar flares could do alot of damage if they get through. Smog, like i mentioned earlier, is a big problem in places like Italy and Asia. This is because of constant fumes being pumped out of cars and factories. We are lucky that our environmental cnditions dont allow this to happen but the fumes are damagig our atmosphere and it needs to be stopped or at least reduced. If we keep going on this track we're heading on then we may not have breathable air or a livable environment in the future. And im sure nobody wants to have to put on protective gear every time they need to venture outside.
