hello does this work okay so why would I

hello does this work okay so why would I start off with such a strange drawing

start off with such a strange drawing

start off with such a strange drawing well first of all I’m not a great

well first of all I’m not a great

well first of all I’m not a great thrower but second of all this signifies

thrower but second of all this signifies

thrower but second of all this signifies what kind of problem we are facing right

what kind of problem we are facing right

what kind of problem we are facing right now we are kind of hanging on the side

now we are kind of hanging on the side

now we are kind of hanging on the side of the cliff about to fall down the Tor

of the cliff about to fall down the Tor problem that we don’t even see so you

problem that we don’t even see so you

problem that we don’t even see so you would say who is this kid he’s not even

would say who is this kid he’s not even

would say who is this kid he’s not even a scientist well not yet at least but if

a scientist well not yet at least but if

a scientist well not yet at least but if I can at least convince one person of

I can at least convince one person of

I can at least convince one person of the problem that we have right now and

the problem that we have right now and

the problem that we have right now and maybe have them take a few steps to

maybe have them take a few steps to

maybe have them take a few steps to reduce it I would be pretty happy with

reduce it I would be pretty happy with

reduce it I would be pretty happy with my own speech so first of all I want to

my own speech so first of all I want to

my own speech so first of all I want to start off with how I found out about

start off with how I found out about

start off with how I found out about this problem so I gotta go to an

this problem so I gotta go to an

this problem so I gotta go to an exchange program for us and one semester

exchange program for us and one semester

exchange program for us and one semester passed so I came back and after 12 hours

passed so I came back and after 12 hours

passed so I came back and after 12 hours in the plane I was exhausted and I just

in the plane I was exhausted and I just

in the plane I was exhausted and I just wanted a breath of fresh air when I

wanted a breath of fresh air when I

wanted a breath of fresh air when I walked out the airport but when I took a

walked out the airport but when I took a

walked out the airport but when I took a deep breath I paused and I thought did

deep breath I paused and I thought did

deep breath I paused and I thought did the air always feel like somebody poured

the air always feel like somebody poured

the air always feel like somebody poured a bunch of bleach in my mouth all

a bunch of bleach in my mouth all

a bunch of bleach in my mouth all certainly not but being in a more fresh

certainly not but being in a more fresh

certainly not but being in a more fresh environment for a while and then

environment for a while and then

environment for a while and then changing it actually got me to realize

changing it actually got me to realize

changing it actually got me to realize how bad the situation is right here

how bad the situation is right here

how bad the situation is right here after a few minutes of research and the

after a few minutes of research and the

after a few minutes of research and the searching on the web I actually came

searching on the web I actually came

searching on the web I actually came across a statistic where Georgia is

across a statistic where Georgia is

across a statistic where Georgia is ranked number one in the depth by

ranked number one in the depth by

ranked number one in the depth by pollution if the study is conducted by

pollution if the study is conducted by

pollution if the study is conducted by the World Health Organization and be

the World Health Organization and be

the World Health Organization and be number one means that we are even higher

number one means that we are even higher

number one means that we are even higher than China you know in China there are

than China you know in China there are

than China you know in China there are certain cities

certain cities

certain cities we have to wear a gas mask an you can’t

we have to wear a gas mask an you can’t

we have to wear a gas mask an you can’t even see the sky but the rural

even see the sky but the rural

even see the sky but the rural population is actually outweighing their

population is actually outweighing their

population is actually outweighing their statistics and putting them behind us

statistics and putting them behind us

statistics and putting them behind us but that actually means that we did not

but that actually means that we did not

but that actually means that we did not only mess up the cities but we actually

only mess up the cities but we actually

only mess up the cities but we actually managed to mess up the rural areas as

managed to mess up the rural areas as

managed to mess up the rural areas as well so that will be pretty impressive

well so that will be pretty impressive

well so that will be pretty impressive of its own right if we were at killing

of its own right if we were at killing

of its own right if we were at killing thousands of Georgians every year

thousands of Georgians every year

thousands of Georgians every year because of it so there are three

because of it so there are three

because of it so there are three underlying factors for our pollution

underlying factors for our pollution

underlying factors for our pollution problem right here factories smoking and

problem right here factories smoking and

problem right here factories smoking and old cars I will start off with the ones

old cars I will start off with the ones

old cars I will start off with the ones that have the highest magnitude of the

that have the highest magnitude of the

that have the highest magnitude of the tax and I will go down from there I will

tax and I will go down from there I will

tax and I will go down from there I will suggest a small solution for every

suggest a small solution for every

suggest a small solution for every single morning I will summarize it there

single morning I will summarize it there

single morning I will summarize it there so starting off with all covers this is

so starting off with all covers this is

so starting off with all covers this is actually taking on streets of Philly C

actually taking on streets of Philly C

actually taking on streets of Philly C and I’m pretty surprised that that thing

and I’m pretty surprised that that thing

and I’m pretty surprised that that thing is not illegal okay we have to pretty

is not illegal okay we have to pretty

is not illegal okay we have to pretty much regulate our cars I will point out

much regulate our cars I will point out

much regulate our cars I will point out a few obvious things right here so don’t

a few obvious things right here so don’t

a few obvious things right here so don’t think that I’m just feeding you stuff so

think that I’m just feeding you stuff so

think that I’m just feeding you stuff so first of all the over the car gets more

first of all the over the car gets more

first of all the over the car gets more fuel it consumes therefore there are

fuel it consumes therefore there are

fuel it consumes therefore there are more emissions and the capital catalyst

more emissions and the capital catalyst

more emissions and the capital catalyst the capacitors are actually producing

the capacitors are actually producing

the capacitors are actually producing coal generates a lot from the cars but

coal generates a lot from the cars but

coal generates a lot from the cars but now there is a very nasty combination in

now there is a very nasty combination in

now there is a very nasty combination in Georgia where the amount of cars are

Georgia where the amount of cars are

Georgia where the amount of cars are increasing drastically a while the

increasing drastically a while the

increasing drastically a while the average age of them is 16 years and the

average age of them is 16 years and the

average age of them is 16 years and the capacitors are missing if they’re either

capacitors are missing if they’re either

capacitors are missing if they’re either being sold off or their baby

being sold off or their baby

being sold off or their baby without pause well now the combination

without pause well now the combination

without pause well now the combination actually counts for more than 50% of our

actually counts for more than 50% of our

actually counts for more than 50% of our pollution and the few solutions to this

pollution and the few solutions to this

pollution and the few solutions to this would be first of all to develop our

would be first of all to develop our

would be first of all to develop our infrastructure better and have our

infrastructure better and have our

infrastructure better and have our public transport system deep first of

done tango the cultural problem here so

done tango the cultural problem here so we have to make smoking gun pool again

we have to make smoking gun pool again

we have to make smoking gun pool again and we have to make asking people to

and we have to make asking people to

and we have to make asking people to actually breathe clean air appropriate

actually breathe clean air appropriate

actually breathe clean air appropriate and actually you would think that

so next you have to implement pause

so next you have to implement pause where we’re going to have the homes of

where we’re going to have the homes of

where we’re going to have the homes of people who still want to smoke around

people who still want to smoke around

people who still want to smoke around their children say we have to implement

them with hydroelectric plants or nuclear plants right now because Georgia

nuclear plants right now because Georgia

nuclear plants right now because Georgia does not have enough to support it first

does not have enough to support it first

does not have enough to support it first of all and second of all if anything bad

amount of destruction that it will take

amount of destruction that it will take at least 20 percent of our land off just

at least 20 percent of our land off just

at least 20 percent of our land off just for a one nuclear meltdown and if you

for a one nuclear meltdown and if you

for a one nuclear meltdown and if you thought the 42 we see a few years ago

thought the 42 we see a few years ago

thought the 42 we see a few years ago was bad you should see a hydroelectric

be producing 35 gigawatt hours for five billion dollars that it will cost to

billion dollars that it will cost to

billion dollars that it will cost to build and then divided and multiplied

build and then divided and multiplied

build and then divided and multiplied some stuff to account for the Georgia

some stuff to account for the Georgia

some stuff to account for the Georgia consumption and how much it would cost

the public transport system when the new

the public transport system when the new one is developed right now I understand

one is developed right now I understand

one is developed right now I understand everybody not using that our current

everybody not using that our current

everybody not using that our current transport system even I go to that

transport system even I go to that

transport system even I go to that because it’s kind of not as well

because it’s kind of not as well

because it’s kind of not as well developed or now but when it is we

developed or now but when it is we

developed or now but when it is we should go to and you know yourself so

you will now think that most my

you will now think that most my solutions are based around government

solutions are based around government

solutions are based around government policies but actually the reform

policies but actually the reform

policies but actually the reform everything every solution starts off

everything every solution starts off

everything every solution starts off with an individual so if you take away

with an individual so if you take away

with an individual so if you take away one thing from my speech remember that

one thing from my speech remember that

one thing from my speech remember that when we change uni dividual we can

when we change uni dividual we can

when we change uni dividual we can change it family where we can change

change it family where we can change

change it family where we can change your family we can change it a society

your family we can change it a society

your family we can change it a society and when we can change society’s you

and when we can change society’s you

and when we can change society’s you change cities when we can change cities

change cities when we can change cities

change cities when we can change cities we can change the country and when the

we can change the country and when the

country is changing that the world

country is changing that the world changes with it

changes with it

changes with it so remember that it all starts with an

so remember that it all starts with an

so remember that it all starts with an individual and remember if would make a

individual and remember if would make a

individual and remember if would make a better world for all of us then we have

better world for all of us then we have

better world for all of us then we have to start off with ourselves thank

to start off with ourselves thank
