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.

Dear Emilia
It is true that people in B A tend not to pay attention to noise pollution and it is high time they got aware of how serious it can be.
Your idea of carrying out a multi-media campaign is absolutely great as the only way to reverse the current situation is by teaching citizens not only what the consequences of this kind of pollution are but also what they can do about it.
As regards passing a law limiting the number of buildings that can be put up in an area, don't you think this is too drastic a measure? Perhaps, an alternative choice could be to limit the height of buildings or, better still, to encourage developers to put up lower buildings by lowering their taxes in case they did so.
In the meantime, we can all contribute by making our friends aware of the problem, don't you think so?
