Week 3: Issues of Sustainable Development

Assalamualaikum.Hi everyone,so in this topic,i will share with all of you on what is happening around my village. During 2015, there was the Southeast Asian haze. It was caused by forest fires in Indonesia and has affected many countries including Malaysia. Haze is a very common among the world as it happens almost every year. But since the pandemic Covid 19 spreading around the world, we rarely see the haze issue at this moment as the people need to stay at home for quite a long time.

Well as you can see in this picture, this is the API Table (Air Pollutant Index) in Malaysia. I live in Batu Pahat, Johor and we can see clearly that the Air Pollutant Index is very good and shows that the quality of the air is very good. In order to maintain this air quality , we need to do something. I could remind myself and others including my family and my neighbours to not burn the garbages around the houses as it could damage the air quality. Instead, we can choose to recycle our garbages and reuse some of them. Moreover, I can remind my family and friends to share the vehicles so then we might could reduce the air pollution that caused by the gas emissions from the vehicles. We have to take care of our surroundings as they are also the God’s creation. Thank you.
