Thank you for your great
engagement in todays
lesson. What we have seen
amplifies the challenge of
pollution, that humans are
responsible for. Individually
and globally.
We as Geographers are
looking at the patterns and
noticing that the pollution has
three types. It is all around
us and it does not go away.
It is all positive that the
challenges to sustainability
have been identified. First
way to solve a problem is to
identify the problem.
