Hey guys,
After going through the morning news I came across an article in the New York Times that was kind of interesting, and relating to the topics that we will be discussing during our MUN. The article entitled, "UN Reports Pollution Threat in Asia," just gives current background information on pollution, what's causing it, and who is most affected.
