Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than
4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop
smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today, London is much
cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little
wind in London and pollution increased. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just
four days. Part of the problem is the new "out of town" shopping centres. In the past, people often
walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping
centres. The small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle
lanes, so people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce
pollution and costs.
