Air in Houston

By Kyra W., 14, Jesse Jones High School, Houston, Texas, USA.

I've lived in Houston all my life, and I think the horrible air in Houston is a big problem. Everyone thinks it is due to the vast amount of cars. It is somewhat, but mostly it is due to the factories and things we have.

The smoke stacks release horrible stuff into the air. And the restriction laws are pretty sad. The way to fix this is to make more restrictions.

And also, Houston is a green city, meaning it has many trees and such, why not make it greener? There are many places where we could have more plant life. It would be good.

But mainly, we need to have more smoke stack laws. And car pooling should be more promoted. And that's my opinion.
