Find out all of the mentioned factors that caused the pollution.
P2:Previously, water quality in the Li River had suffered greatly from an increasing volume of tourists, many of whom frequently threw garbage into the river. Many tour boats contributed to the problem too. Kitchens on board were using lots of oil,which was often thrown into the water.The growth in tourism also meant the local population rose rapidly, as well as the number of commercial and industrial enterprises. Water pollution levels increased,with more household and commercial waste ending up in the river.In order to feed more people, more chemicals were used to increase crop production. These chemicals led to severe water quality issues,causing a decrease in the number of fish species.Local officials were concerned that the pollution was damaging the natural environment and felt that urgent steps should be taken to restore the rivers original beauty.
P3:A comprehensive initiative was started, with a number of measures that addressed the issues. The construction of waste water treatment facilities improved the water quality and water conservation. The collection and transport of household waste was also improved. Dozens of polluting enterprises were closed or moved. The local government set up strict regulations regarding further industrial development.New rules were also introduced regarding tour boat routes and garbage disposal methods. Furthermore, the local authorities began to use the media to spread environmental awareness and encourage greater use of clean energy. At the same time, they started to carry out inspections regularly and fine tourist organisations for abuses. With these measures, it is believed that the beauty of the Li River will be preserved for generations to come.

With the development of the economy, my hometown has witnessed severe air pollution for several years. This report looks at the causes of air pollution and some actions that could be taken to deal with it.
The severe air pollution alarms us of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our inappropriate usage of fuel wastes. However, with the deepening of urbanization, more cars are needed, which made air pollution worse. Therefore, urgent steps should be taken to alleviate this issue.
Initially, industrial companies should apply the most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as substitutes for fossil fuels. Also, governments can carry out inspections regularly and fine industrial factories for abuses. As for individuals, they should raise environmental awareness try more environmental-friendly transportation means such as buses instead of private cars. With these measures, it is believed that the fresh air of our hometown will be preserved for generations to enjoy.
Let’s spare no effort to make contributions to alleviating air pollution problem of our hometown!
