a report about the fog haze in northern china

It's been reported that most areas of northern china have been covered in persistent, thick fog in recent days; the national meteorological station has issued the highest orange alert ,calling on people to wear masks to prevent air pollution.
　 The French painter Monet once said that 'without the fog, London wouldn't be a beautiful city'. However, few Londoners would have agreed with this view at the time of the Industrial Revolution as the city was continiously choked with industrial smoke. An impending crisis behind such a beautiful backdrop can be easily ignored; the formation and impact of fog are far less attractive than it's appearance. The haze, combined with pollutions and moisture in the air, is one of the chief culprits of traffic jams and respiratory disease,damaging life and health. 
　The large amount of pollutants; coal-fired,vehicle emissions,industrial pollutants and dust, coupled with a negative attitude amoungst local officials towards environmental protection policy has had a negative impact on the environment.
　The environmental protection policy has been published for years. However, the importance of protecting the environment has attracted minimal attention,while it's significance should really play a central role in  the daily life of everyone. Cycling and walking should be promoted over the use of private cars. It's also crucial for government to take specific actions to control pollution levels and to provide leadership in promoting greener and cleaner activities.
　We all need the air in order to survive, looking after it will ensure a pure and bright future. We must not let the fog darken our way to success, good health and a happy home.
