oing this blog gave us a great insight into the vast level or urban pollution within the country’s capital as well as along the east west corridor. Almost all the different types of urban pollution were examined running from unpleasant buildings all the way up to noise pollution. These blogs helped us understand the importance of keeping our space clean as we the people of this country have to live our everyday live in this same space. Urban Pollution in Trinidad and Tobago managed by Brett Lucas and Jameel Phillip posted a blog entitled “Little City Big Noise”, this gave a wider insight to noise pollution within urban spaces. Little city big noise explained the mechanics of the building structures of the clubs that allow noise to escape. This we thought was very valuable and knowledgeable as it shows the difference between the more advanced and less advanced buildings as well as it shows that clubs could function within urban spaces and reduce the level of noise. Another blog which related to ours was “organic waste disposal in Port of Spain” posted by POS waste: viewing the city through its waste which is managed by Safiiyah Hosein and Jesse Francis. This blog exaggerated the impact of dumping solid waste within the capital, this reiterates the fact made in our blogs that the dumping of solid wastes is a eyesore and is unpleasant both to commuters passing through the capital as well as residents within. “liquid Pollution and waste disposal’ also posted by POS Waste: viewing the city through its waste is another interesting post, this is because no one seemed to investigate the fact of the stench the capital has. That blog gave great insight into the stench as well as that there is no legislation regarding the dumping of liquid waste into the drains of the capital. All the blogs posted were very educating and portrayed very valuable information as well as they revealed interesting things about our country Trinidad and Tobago.
