Now that it s gone, The legacy lives on. The legacy lives on. Cara Meade,Wales, UK Smog is something we live through almost every day in Mexico City. Clean days are rare compared to those where you can see the smog produced by cars and factories hanging over the hillsides, curling down the freeways, wrapping its arms around the tall buildings. The government has tried to reduce the smog, but it hasn t worked.
Citizens still get sick and children are the most affected.
Red eyes, skin covered with a layer of grime, a knotted feeling of sick in your stomach that s how you feel most days in the world s biggest city. It is Friday. As usual, I get up at 7 am and on my way to the bathroom I turn on the coffee machine. I take the milk out of the fridge. I take a long shower and finish with a quick squirt from a spray deodorant.
