Mohammed Abdulla started the meeting by introducing the problem we’ll discuss in the meeting which is the air pollution. Also, he introduced each member in the group to each other. Then he asked the participants to tell him the solution for the problem. He controlled the interview in a good way.

Abdulla Jaber started with the first solution which is using hybrid vehicles and he said that it will reduce the air pollution. Abdulla Hussein said it is a good idea but he thought that hybrid vehicles cost too much money, so it is difficult for all people to buy them. Mohammed Abdulla said I agree with Abdulla Hussein.

Mohammed Abdulla asked the participants about their idea of using buses instead of cars for people who live in the city. Abdulaziz said that is a good idea, because using buses will reduce using cars which will reduce harmful gases such as carbon dioxide. Abdulla Hussein and Abdulla Jaber agreed with that solution.

Abdulla Hussein said using underground metro is a good solution to reduce the pollution. Abdulla Jaber said it is a good idea but it will cost too much to build it and Abdulaziz added it will take a long time to build. Mohammed agreed with both Abdulla Jaber and Abdulaziz.

Mohammed asked them about their idea of recycling newspapers and plastic bags. Abdulla Hussein said it is a good idea because plastic bags have harmful compounds. Abdulla Jaber said recycling is essentially done by the government.

Abdulla Jaber said that there should be rules for factories to reduce the use of harmful gases. Abdulla Hussein agreed about that point and said that factories should be in areas away from cities. Mohammed said it is a big problem because it causes something called acid rain which can destroy the environment.

The participants were so active and they have the ability of answering anything that was asked by the chairman. Also, they gave the chairman good ideas and they supported their ideas with good explanations. The Secretary was interacting with the members by giving his ideas about the solutions, taking the time of the starting and ending of the meeting.

1)      Using buses instead of cars for people who live in cities.

2)      Putting rules that limit the factories from using harmful gases.

3)      Recycling the newspapers and plastic bags.
