The public transport system in the PHL which include tricycles, buses, and jeepneys contribute to air pollution in Metro Manila. Most factories and polluting industries have closed shops. There are about a quarter of a million motor vehicles contributing about a million tons of pollutants into the atmosphere in MM. A good quarter of that comes from tricycles. That is why ADB is working hard on e trikes.
Watch how a jeepney contributes to the environmental degradation. (air pollution)
This site would like followers and leaders to be aware of air pollution and how it impacts our lives and health. We seem to be uncaring about this growing serious problem which we know is there but we do nothing. Shall we wait for air pollution to be as serious as in Beijing? When do we act?
