Discuss an environmental problem

that you feel is significant in your town or city. What are some causes? Are any of these
causes related to human values and environmental ethics? Explain

In my town, we've had a problem with some industries dumping waste products in the Kalamazoo River. The industries don't do this any more and the river has been pretty well cleaned up. The causes of the polluted river stemmed from the industries' not wanting to pay for proper treatment of their wastes.

But I doubt if you live in Kalamazoo. What environmental problem is significant in your town or city?
