Ah, pollution... another biggie. 
What's worse, it's been deprioritized for far too long because they thought it was just an issue made up by tree-hugging flakes, and 'not important' in the grand scheme of things. Now here we are today, clean air and water dwindling, resources dwindling, and no, we have not yet found any means to immigrate to any other life-supporting off-world environment. Oops.
Yeah, pollution is a big problem locally for many, many reasons. It causes inner-city flooding, it spreads disease, thee bad air leads to lung and heart problems for a good portion of the populace, and it chokes the life out of the natural resources we rely on (especially bodies of water which people use to dump their shit and crap in, then bathe in later)

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
