The enviromental pollution

The environmental pollution is a problem about which there hasn´t been real governmental rules to try to solve the problem. Until now, lots of small solution have been published . The three Rs : recycle, reduce and reuse is the most popular one. People, who are conscious about it, classify their rubbish in different bins which are collected in different days according to the area where they live. In relation to me, in my department we collect paper, glass, cans and plastic during some weeks, and when we have got a considerable amount of them we put them in different containers that are in our building. I´m conscious that it isn´t enough, and also that the environmental problem is enormous. It involves pollution in different natural areas. I mean rivers, soil, air and the ocean which involve our food and the different illnesses involved by them. The different areas polluted in our country aren´t only the air and the noise pollution in Santiago. The solution given to ride bikes and take public means of transport is a way too simple to solve this serious problem. In spite of the fact that Santiago is the most populated city in Chile, there are cities like Temuco and Rancagua where the quality of the air is not healthy. But, what happens with the rivers where there are mines? What´s happening with our ocean where lots of living creatures die because of the ships or small boats which spread petrol in the water? Who takes the control to the big amounts of small industries that spread their contaminants to the air and rivers? Why there haven´t been given real rules to fire chimneys or stoves that use wood yet? Government departments must give the rules to all the citizens of the country. But it seems that, if they teach the three Rs, talk about pollution and the TV shows different environmental problems and the solutions given for those particular cases, the problem seems to be solved. According to my point of view, the three Rs and the poor solutions are not enough. There won´t be real environmental changes if the governmental policies don´t give clear rules to the citizens.
