Effectiveness of banning plastic straw real and the compare of pros and cons Research questions What are plastic straw real? What is the policy environment for plastic straw real? What is the impact of plastic straw real on the environment? Annotated Bibliography Lam, Chung-Sum, et al. “A comprehensive analysis of plastics and micro-plastic legislation worldwide.” Water, Air, & Soil Pollution 229.11 (2018): 345. Lam and colleagues portend that both aquatic and land-based plastic pollution has resulted in severe health concerns for animals and humans on a global scale. The authors acknowledge the myriad of legislative steps instituted to mitigate and control plastic usage, with a majority of the policies focusing on levies, banning plastic, and voluntary efforts championed through reuse and reduced campaigns. Moreover, the researchers advance both the positives and negatives of the existing legislation on plastic use. In conclusion, the study determines that there is a need for a conventional management strategy focusing on the existing legislation on the use and management of plastic.

Traffic congestion overview Traffic congestion is a common problem facing many urban centres and cities. The problem is dominant in both developing and developed countries. Traffic congestion in Australia has been a significant concern to the national government. It has attracted multiple research, with researchers focusing on the causes and the various ways that the congestion would be reduced. Recent research was developed to establish traffic monitoring through social media platforms such as Twitter, in a bid to reduce congestion levels on the highways of Sidney (Gong, Deng &Sinnott, 2015). The Australian government has also invested in significant researches conducted to find out modernized methods of handling traffic congestion in Sydney and the rest of Australia. This research paper was conducted to capture the current state of traffic congestion in Sydney, Australia. The study captured the average speed of traffic in the city’s major highways, the congestion (average speed against the posted free-flow speeds), and the variability of the traffic congestion in time, on a 24hr scale. The results of the study were then computed into a bar, line graphs…
Air pollution in China Air pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances in the air. China being one of the highly developing countries in the world has high levels of air pollution. China has had the fastest developing economy among the major nations, which has contributed to increased air pollution. The increased levels of air pollution have increased the rate of premature deaths, which is about 350,000 to 400,000. About 760,000 have been reported dead due to air pollution each year. China being a developing country experiences several factors leading to air pollution causing both affects on human life and environment hence the need for prevention. Air pollution in China has increased due to the rapid increase of motor vehicles. China’s economic development has led to a rise in wealth, which has enabled individuals to buy their motor vehicles. Statistics carried out indicated that the number of vehicles on the roads has doubled with over 1200 vehicles added each day.
