Some people say that to prevent illness and disease, governments should focus more on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems

For extra practice, write an antonym (opposite word) on a piece of paper to help you remember the new vocabulary:
designated car-free days days when you are not allowed to drive your car
optimal method to reduce rising levels of air pollution best way to cut down on lack of fresh air
despite other viable options regardless of other good choices
remedy solution
Critics of this policy argue people who are against this idea
instead create laws related to industrial production better to limit pollution from companies
Except for automobiles with the exception of cars
main causes primary sources
resource mining getting materials like coal out of the Earth
consumer electronics manufacturing making products like iPhones
textile fabrication making clothing
legislated strict controls on production methods make laws to regulate manufacturing
concomitant decline in air pollution figures related fall in numbers for unclean air
limited carbon emissions thresholds only a certain amount you can add to the air
exceeding these numbers results in heavy fines and other penalties going above these figures means you have to pay or receive other punishments
This forward-looking solution is also appealing since the long-term fix is good because
encompass include
entire calendar year whole year
whereas instead of
limited in their scope doesn’t encompass everything
greater impact due to their far-reaching implications more effect because of repercussions
massively reduce air pollution hugely cut down on unclean air
harmful gases into the atmosphere than any single industry air pollution caused by one field
force motorists make drivers
alternative modes of transportation different ways of getting around
