Can we do anything?


In addition to traffic, vehicles, population and old cars emissions there are other types of emissions that add to the air pollution in Iran. One of them is the emission caused by heating systems and air conditioners used in buildings, the director of Iran's Department of Environment has invited everyone to participate in a challenge which would help to reduce the amount of emissions casued by these heating systems. Her challenge is to set the temperature to at most 18 degrees Celsius inside the corridors and about 21 degrees inside the rooms. Hopefully this would be a movement everyone participates in and help in cutting the pollution. However, this is just “one” way to help.
The other ways that can help are more usage of public transportation since most people drive their own car to work! Other things that need to be done are more standards, regulations and inspections on cars and especially old ones. We still have very old buses driving around emitting clouds of dark soot out but we can also see the modern clean ones too.
This is how beautiful Tehran can look like
