Scarcity of Healthy Environment, Nowadays

We keep begging for a healthy surrounding but we can't make that happen, simply because we disobey. One of the most annoying surrounding is related to smoke: whether it's smoke of cigarette or pollution. We are having a difficulty in finding a healthy environment. The scarcity of green life is getting scare. It worsens not only the patients of asthma, but also other people, who may soon infect an asthma. Change. We can always change something we don’t like.

From the theory that's also supported by the analysis and survey, it has been recognized that the decrease of asthma in one circumstance is cause by the increase of cleanliness and the number of modern family.
