Policy Dealing With Overpopulation and Air Pollution London has similarities to New York in that it too is an overpopulated location with a high density of air pollution -- or rather it had a high density of air pollution, until Britain implemented policies that dealt with that situation. One of the policies that Britain implemented was the Environment Act 1995, which covers England, Scotland, and Wales and requires all local authorities to review and assess air quality in their area.

One of the greatest problems it causes is air pollution. No sane or democratic government could draft a policy that would control over-population, but policies can be created to deal with the side effects, one of them being air pollution. Over-population exists. Due to New York's many advantages it seems as though this problem will linger into the future, but…
