Lovely Philadelphia
This weekend I went down to Temple University to visit some of my friends from high school. If you really want to view an environmental unfriendly place, I suggest you visit Philly. There are a million little things that you see that make you feel sad about how poorly we are treating this wonderful Earth.
First off, I took the train down. That dirty mess of metal burns tons of fuel, and makes a million stops, which lessens its efficiency. All along the ride I looked out the window to see trash and tree stumps, and just a wreck of filth. Finally after getting off the train I walked out onto the lovely paved city of Philadelphia.
There are like two trees for ever nine buildings down there, that's exaggerating, but it’s still not an eco-friendly place. All along the roads was nothing but trash and garbage. The smells coming up from the subway lines tell you that they can't be good for the atmosphere, let alone all the different building pumping out black smoke, and all the cars and buses' exhaust.
Granted, I love the city, I think certain aspect of it are lovely, what with the beautiful architecture and wonderful sites and shops, and the food is glorious, but from the view of an environmentalist, Philly's a bad place and is polluting the world.

while cities are not the most enviornmentally friendly places when compared to suburban and rural towns, it is good to know that people use public transportation (it is better than having all those people on the road polluting our atmosphere). also the city of philadelphia has signed the Kyoto Protocol!
