Noise Pollution & Buenos Aires


My opinion of noise-pollution in Buenos Aires is that there is a lot and people are not conscious about it.

My first idea is to make people realise what is happening in our country. To make it, I think that the government should organise a big and serious campaign. That will include information about the risks of this kind of pollution, on tv, on the streets, on the radios, etc.

Once the society is conscious of the risks that noise-pollution brings,I think that a second message should be introduced to it the same way as the first one. The second message should try to make people walk more and use cars and means of transport a bit less, or to put cell phones in a vibe mode, or try to make people talk in a lower voice instead of shouting.

My other idea is to make a law so as to prohibit the construction of more than three buildings per neighbourhood at the same time. The reason for this is that the construction of buildings brings a lot of noise and it also brings visual-pollution.
