There are many holidays, festivals, Saints days and celebrations in the worldwide that I still don’t know yet. Sometimes I receive emails from different organisations then I start to realise those special days in every month. For example, this week is about Clean Air Day (8 Oct 2020).
Air pollution reportedly kills 40,000 people a year in the UK (NHS, 2016). This year, Clean Air Day is especially meaningful and perhaps the most harvest year due to COVID-19 lockdown. As we know, COVID-19 has led to a lot of chaos in the human world; including political disputes, economic turndown and social distance (is that a social challenge?). However, we human being bring about more disaster to the world. For example, eternal plastic rubbish, exhausting working hours, aggressive animal test et al., in terms of that, some might deem COVID-19 a real cleaner sent by the God to reduce the problem of air pollution and so on.

This time, I received the email from the bus company, but it was the date on 9 October after Clean Air Day. Otherwise, if I had read the email, I would have decided to walk instead of taking the bus to my destination. To see the effect of worldwide lockdown amid COVID-19 pandemic on air quality, let's get back to see some photos to remind ourselves how serious the air pollution made by human being.

世界各地還有許多假期，節日，聖日和慶祝活動我仍然不知道。有時我收到來自不同組織的電子郵件，然後我才開始知道每個月的特殊日子。
這一周是清潔空氣日（2020年10月8日）。據報導，空氣污染每年在英國造成64,000人死亡。今年的空氣日尤其有意義，由於COVID-19的封鎖，也許是收穫最多的一年。 COVID-19在人類世界中造成了很多混亂；包括政治糾紛，經濟下滑和社會距離（這是社會挑戰嗎？）。但是，人類給世界帶來更多的災難, 像是:永遠不爛的塑料垃圾，累死人的工作時間，手段激進的動物試驗等; 從此觀點來看,有些人可能會認為COVID-19是上帝派遣來的真正世界清道夫,以減少空汙等問題.
這次，我收到了公共汽車公司的電子郵件，但這是清潔空氣日之後的10月9日。 否則，如果我閱讀了電子郵件，我將決定步行，而不是乘公共汽車去我的目的地。
最後，讓我們回過頭來看看在COVID-19疫情大流行期間全球封鎖對空氣質量的影響，以提醒我們自己人為造成的嚴重空氣污染。美國國家太空總署（NASA）報告稱，印度北部所記錄的空氣污染已降到20年來低點，這令人驚訝嗎？
