Q1-1 I am in trouble with familiar pollution problems

In recent years, urbanization has led to an increase in pollution and environment-related problems.

Troubles can often be avoided by caring for the neighbors and having a little care.

Also, depending on the factory, house, or the degree of relationship with the person that causes the cause, the way of feeling inconvenience changes.

The cause of the pollution may not be aware that they are bothering your neighbors.

Don't be patient if you feel the damage, and try to casually seek an understanding as soon as possible.
