How to make our cities greener

A In condusion, we can make our cities greener by reducing air pollution and creating green spaces. This makes them more pleasant to live in and it will also help cut global warming.

B Firstly, we must try to cut down on pollution. For example, we should use electric cars and public transport or bicycles to get around. In this way, we reduce road traffic and car fumes as well as greenhouse gas emissions that cause air pollution.

C Pollution and global warming are serious problems. We can reduce both of them not only at home but also in the cities where we live by making them greener. There are many things we can do.

D Another way to make our cities greener is to make more green spaces. The more parks and trees we have, the more we can reduce the CO2in the air. By planting trees and creating parks, we make the air cleaner and reduce global warming.
