This document discusses how traffic congestion affects people and the environment. It is meant to guide students in a classroom activity where they discuss in groups how traffic congestion impacts them and the environment. Regarding people, traffic congestion reduces productivity at work and causes stress through physical and mental health impacts. It also increases air and noise pollution that harm the environment by raising greenhouse gas emissions and temperatures, threatening human and animal health.

Editor's Notes
- #3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmC1Yq1yLn8 (China traffic air pollution)
- #5: Should I go more in depth? Go more in depth in the slides or it be done in verbal explanation? For the express class you can do it verbally. The NA class don’t need to unless they express active interest in this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKhsPO6yYko (China 100km jam enters 9th day) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krmS8Xw3VmQ (Reduced in productivity due to jam)
- #6: Should I least down the examples of physical and mental health or it can be covered verbally. Verbally is fine. Should I separate the 2 points into 2 slides? Combined is ok. We normally only separate and go into details if this is something you feel is integral to the topic. Physical – fatigue due to long travelling hours, loss of concentration – accidents, pollution from exhaust – health concerns like asthma & lung disease Mental – stress & frustration – accidents / fights *Is this video appropriate if we off the sound? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47PO6AQ0rIk (road rage in Singapore) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH0HkTysVVE (Jam and driver unwilling to give in)
