1. Whose responsibility is it to reduce pollution? Why do you think so?
I think it’s our responsibility to fight and finally reduce pollution. I consider that everyone should start with oneself no matter how other people behave. In think so, because even small situations and habits like going to work by bike can help reduce smog.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of pedestrianized town and city centres?
In my opinion there are definitely more advantages than disadvantages like the centre of the city is safe and cosy. But in smaller towns it might be problematic to access some places.

1. Everyone is responsible for the environment. We all should help by trying to reduce pollution, because we all live on the same planet and use it’s goods, so that’s why we must take good care of it.
2. The main advantage of pedestrianized town and city centres is that walking causes no damage to the environment. It’s also a great exercise for us. Plus, we don’t need to worry about traffic.
However, a disadvantage of pedestrianized town and city centres is that it takes longer to get to a destination we want to get to. Another disadvantage is that there is a lot more people on the streets and pavements than normally.

People have to do a lot and change some of their habits to reduce pollution in my city. One or two things is not enough. The third picture suggests changing our lifestyle to reduce the air pollution. It means that we ought to for example plant more trees and forests, take electricity from natural sources like wind or sun. it also says that we should build more blocks and less houses. it’s also better to go on foot or ride a bike instead of using cars. In my opinion this photo shows the most important and helpful issues about reducing toxic air.
I reject poster A because the idea of getting on our bikes is not enough to save our city. however it is one of the ways to reduce pollution. i think that for some people using a bike as their main mean of transport can be difficult as they have places of work far away from their houses.
I also reject poster B because i’m concerned that masks don’t protect us in 100%. maybe it’s a good idea but only for people who live in big cities where level of pollution is really high. I personally don’t imagine wearing a mask in my city outside for all the time.
QUESTIONS
1. i think it’s responsibility of every human living in our country. we can and even have to do as much as possible to reduce pollution. in our local area, in Poland an in the whole world. in my opinion it’s not possible for human to make a big change but if everyone her involved we can really make air cleaner.
2. the main advantage are cleaner air, less car accidents, no traffics and people would be forced to more move. the mains disadvantages are that disabled would have difficulties in getting to all the places. it also would be hard to carry bags with bigger shopping.

1. In my opinion, everyone is responsible for the environment and should fight pollution. Everyone should contribute at least a little to reducing pollution. There are a lot of people in the world, so if people all over the planet started fighting pollution, it would be much smaller.
2. Certainly the advantage is that it will reduce the pollution as walking does not pollute the air. Additionally, it can encourage people to move. However, the disadvantage may be getting to some places, which can be quite a problem.

1. Whose responsibility is it to reduce pollution? Why do you think so?
I think it’s our responsibility, because one person didn’t build the whole world (I mean cities, streets, buildings e.t.c.), so one person didn't destroy all air pollution. So everyone should start changing their lifestyle and shouldn’t look at others. And in time air pollution will cut down.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of pedestrianized town and city centres?
Advantages are obviously cleaner air and more activity in people. But disadvantages are difficulties accessing some places and carrying shopping.

This poster is simple and present normal life. Normal peoples helping with air pollution, in the simple way. Everyone can do this, so everyone can help.
It is also colourful to attract attention, so more peoples will see that.
The poster A show us how to fight with that, in contrast to the another posters.
I reject poster B, this poster look like sad moment. It also looks a package of cigarettes, so this depressing.
Poster C, it is also pretty cool. It is green like an earth, but it doesn't present way to eliminate air pollution.
1. Everyone has a responsibility to reduce pollution. Why? Because, earth is our home. We have to look after our home. We have to do as much as possible to help earth.
2. There are a lot of advantages of pedestrianized city centres. For the example a Piotrkowska in Lodz. This is a perfect place to hang out with friends or for the walk.

Poster A is my choice. The picture shows a lot of positive emotions, which in my opinion are going to encourage people and show that caring about the environment can be fun. The photo also cooperates very well with the slogan; thus, it is a big plus for the message it gives off.
POSTER B
In my opinion the poster is very negative. The first information we see is “smog kills” which is not inspiring or motivating. “Fight the air pollution” is in smaller font and is a second thing we latch our eyes onto. I do not think it was a smart choice. From my point of view changing the order of the slogans would do the picture a world of good.
POSTER C
I am a fan of minimalism, but in this case, I think it is just too little. Icons are very small, and the arched font makes the text hard to read so the message is not going to be clear.
Whose responsibility is it to reduce pollution? Why do you think so?
I think reducing pollution is everyone's responsibility. We all live on the same planet so we should all care about it. We should not search for excuses and start reducing pollution now, since we do not have an endless amount of time.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of pedestrianized town and city centers?
The advantage of pedestrianized town and city centers is a reduced number of cars on the streets. Reducing cars means reducing pollution and road accidents. The disadvantage is impracticality of these type of streets for disabled and elderly people. Pedestrianization also reduces the access to the city center for anyone other than pedestrians and cyclists.

1. Whose responsibility is it to reduce pollution? Why do you think so?
I think everyone is affected by the problem. I think we live in a world where each of us contributes to air pollution during our daily activities.
2. What are the advantages and disadvanteges of pedestrianized town and city centres?
In my opinion, the main advantage is that people would have to walk on their feet, so the air would be less polluted to some degree. There would be more places to hang out with friends. Obviously there are also disadvantages. For example, it would be difficult to get there by car, but it could be reached by bike, scooter, etc. So in my opinion it is not a great problem but it is known that for some it would be a difficulty.

I rejected poster A, because riding a bike isn’t enough. Of course, we should do this, but this doesn't reduce air pollution. This poster looks good, but it doesn't get my attention.
I rejected poster B, because for me this poster isn’t encouraging. He is dark and brings negative emotions. He just says that smog kills and nothing else. He doesn't tell us how we can stop smog and air pollution.
1. Whose responsibility is it to reduce pollution? Why do you think so?
I think this is our responsibility, every human. We all live in this world and we must care about our Earth and air pollution. If we want to fight the air pollution we must act fast and change our lifestyle and things will be good.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of pedestrianized town and city centres?
The advantages are: more clean air and less fumes. This is good for convincing people to ride on a bike. The disadvantages are: the time to the destination will be longer for vehicular traffic. Also access to the destination will be constricted.

1. Whose responsibility is it to reduce pollution? Why do you think so?
In my opinion reduce pollution is responsibility of every people. I think that governments needs to increase penalties to for example: throwing out a garbage to forests or burning a plastic or a tires. I think that this is very important thing to fight with polluce, because government have the highest authority, right?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of pedestrianized town and city centres?
Main advantages for pedestrianized is that the safety of pedestrian is much more higher than If there weren't any sidewalks. I don't see any disadvantages for pedestrianized town and city centres but it is only my opinion

1. We are living on one planet, so everybody is responsible for reducing pollution.
2. The advantage of pedestrianizing city centres is the positive impact of walking, because of it we are not producing pollution for environment so it’s healthy for all of us. But disadvantage is for example that there are more traffic car jams. Because of pedestrianizing, a lot of streets are closed for them because of the walking people so people with cars are going to have a lot of problems with commuting while in the city centre.

2. Questions
- In my opinion everybody needs to think about pollution. We all want to breath fresh air so we should all try to reduce smog. I think that people who rule in the city, like president, should also help and encourage people to ride more bikes or use public transport.
- I think the biggest advantages is that people would have more place to walk and cycle safely. They would also get a chance to admire city in a better way. Sadly there are disadvantages too. I think the hardest part of it is that people would have problem in getting to some places and could not use cars.
