Welcome!
Editor’s Note:
First and foremost, thank you for visiting this page and taking interest in the matter of air pollution. This magazine was designed to educate anyone and everyone about the effects or air pollution and importance of obtaining cleaner air. Originally, it was aimed especially to those living within the Salt Lake Valley since we have been dealing with this issue for decades now, but anyone can learn a thing or two that they could share with others and eventually make a really big change in any part of the world that struggles with this monster of a problem. What you will find in this magazine is a combination of different styles of writing, points of view, and methods of display. The language in all the pieces was meant to be simple and personable for the audience to engage fully and understand how much they can do to help to solve this problem. The first thing you will find is my “persuasion” project as an audio recording where I introduce the topic and its negative effects it has on our society at many different levels. Here I cover how air pollution is a socioeconomic problem that we face and how we must pay more attention to this problem that we often overlook in our every-day lives. I also bring up a story and some examples of regular people who have been affected directly by air pollution and what they go through because of it. I decided to use this medium because it allowed me to express my tone of voice in order to make it more personable to my audience. Next, you will find the profile piece written on Dr. Robert Paine, chief of critical health care and pulmonary medicine at the University of Utah who is also greatly involved in promoting air quality. Because many studies have shown shockingly significant ties between air pollution and many diseases, Robert Paine and many other professionals urge the public to join the movement towards clean air. At last, you will encounter my informative project in which I do a quick review of what I mentioned in the prior pieces. The purpose of this slideshow is to wrap up and hit the main points that everyone should know about air pollution one last time. This is where you will find a list of all the things anybody could do to join the fight for better air quality. In this piece, you’ll see that I was able to use images to empower my message in order to reach deeper into the hearts of the public in order to spark something that will remind them to be constantly aware of how they can be helping the environment. Everyone’s actions are important with this issue. If you are looking for further information on this topic, please feel free to browse through the Citations tab and continue to learn about this issue. Being aware of the problem is the first step in solving it. I hope that you can take something from this magazine and share it with a friend. Enjoy! |
