Hi, we will talk about visual pollution. It is the presence of any unwanted sight that can ruin the aesthetic appeal of a specified area. Visual pollution is especially strong in city and urban areas, it may lower the quality of life in certain areas, or could impact property values and personal enjoyment.There are many elements that conform visual pollution but we believe that the biggest of them all in the cities are advertising and billboards on our streets. This type of pollution has become a serious problem; our cities are full of advertising and we cannot eliminate it so easily.

For example, one person may not mind seeing a city street lined with dozens of billboards and advertisements, while another person may be bothered by this sight and may prefer to look at an uncluttered country road. Another example to consider are the Billboards and advertisements on highway roads, it can be a visual pollution issue that causes drivers to become distracted while traveling on roadways.

This kind of pollution affects us all. How? Well, it might distract drivers and then could cause car accidents. Also, birds are being affected because many of them crash with ads and it may kill them, finally health problems like stress, depression, anxiety due to ads that doesn’t have the quality that we prefer or that really don’t have the quality to catch our attention, but we are on time, we could make the change, making the difference is in our hands! But, where to start? Have we ever supported campaigns to involve people and help have a cleaner city or controlled ads? So, we should support them and implement education about ways to make clean publicity and not in excess and remove it when it’s expire, avoid destroying the environment by putting ads, reduce the light use and other ones. There are many and different ways to reduce the visual pollution, it’s on each one of us to make the change.

Visual pollution affects us hall, it can cause accidents and we can even have health problems, we can help make the difference. Each of us should ask ourselves, have we ever supported campaigns to involve people and help have a cleaner city? We can work on education programs, teach our children and showcase that small changes make the difference.
