Too little is being done locally and abroad to curb the harmful effects of pollutants. Too many studies are being conducted and time wasted debating about the solutions instead of implementation. There's so much talk about technology and eco-friendliness yet so little is being done on the ground to curb widespread pollution in many parts of the world. The harmful effects of air pollution are already well documented. It is high time to have carbon based fuel engines replaced with electric ones. Environmental protection officers need to be empowered to do more today than ever before.
