Polluted Place

Tell me about a polluted place you have either seen or heard about. You should say: where this polluted place is why it is polluted how people feel about this place and explain how the situation could be improved．

．My hometown’s river is polluted：it is famous for being large, and impressive polluted
．It used to be an attractive place with crystal clear water＋beautiful colors＝swim ．Now＝polluted＋smelly. Factories release their chemical waste there.
．In addition, people litter because it's not a nice place anyway.
．We should enforce legislations on environmental issues．
Unfortunately I will tell you about my city, and more precisely, I will describe the river that runs through my hometown. The Min River is the largest and most famous river in Fujian Province, but nowadays, sadly it is also infamous for being extremely polluted.
Thirty years ago, the water was crystal clear. We could see fish at the bottom of the river. The water was pure, and people loved to gather on the banks of the river to fish.
My grandfather told me that the water used to reflect different shades of green and blue, according to the sky and whether or not it was a sunny day. People used to swim there, and it was a great place to hang out with friends, or your girlfriend. It was considered to be a stunning and romantic site in Fuzhou.
But nowadays，the river is polluted and smelly. Factories have been releasing their chemical waste into the river for years．As a result, the color has changed greatly. It is completely dark，and there is a lot of seaweed, or should I say riverweed?
Because it is not such a pleasant place anymore, people litter, and you can see plastic bags and bottles floating on the surface. I would definitely not swim there anymore！It is too disgusting.
We should introduce strict legislation on environmental protection, and spend money to update the sewer system．When I see that so many sewer drains end up in the river, it makes me sick, and it drives me crazy！
