Theme: urban environment

Key learning

Throughout this weeks task I have discovered more and analysed the urban environment that I live in.

I had never really considered all of the different transport methods in my environment which have harmful effects. However, there are many bus services and a train station in my urban environment which many people choose to use instead of traveling my car which helps to reduce the harmful gasses.

I was also able to find out about harmful gasses in my local environment and that building such as factories give off these gasses which will have negative effects on us.

Impact on my views/lifestyle and practice

Through taking time to understand my urban environment, I now will consider if could take an alternative transport method rather than driving or share lifts with people close by.

I had never really considered the harmful gasses given off from buildings. Now I feel passionate that we should be taking a lot more care as this not only effects our community but the world as a whole.

Areas of interest to explore/ further develop:

I found it interesting learning about pollution in my local area. I will now further develop my knowledge by finding out about pollution levels in Glasgow and I can then compare then to other cities across the world.
