The London Environment

Introduction:

The environment here in London is different than what I am used to in the U.S.  I'm used to life in Florida!  Even beyond the seasonal changes, there are differences in how people treat the environment, too.  

What makes this environment special or different?:

The environment in London is definitely different than what I am used to in Florida. The biggest difference I have noticed is the cleanliness. The streets in London are very small and polluted with al ot of trash. However, the parks here are much bigger than the ones I have seen in Florida. London has a lot of open spaces all around the different neighborhoods and districts. These areas are great for having events such as fireworks, soccer matches and celebrations.

What parts of this environment help people to live here?:

The people of London love to go for runs, so the parks are especially good for this. Open spaces encourage people to stay healthy. Hampstead Heath is a park that generally I go to to run, as well as a place where I can take in the sights of London. I also have the opportuntiy to meet locals at the parks, which has been cool, because I get to hear different stories about people's lives.

What challenges do people face living in this environment?:

One of the greatest challenges that London faces is pollution.
