For this activity, you will identify the environmental impact that, in your opinion, presents the greatest concern for airport managers.
In your blog, provide an explanation of your chosen environmental impact with justification and supporting references. Next, you will identify a strategy that could be employed to mitigate your chosen environmental impact.
I believe that the environmental impact which should be of the most concern with the airport managers would be the traffic mismanagement and how the people doesn't follow the effective traffic rules out of the airport causing a lot of pollution as so many taxis, cabs and other private/public vehicles lie down there to pick up or drop a single individual. This is one of the major issue as it solely is one of the reason because of which the noise pollution, air pollution and traffic is increased causing problem to not only the people but also the environment around getting to many toxic gas pollutants in the air.
This is one of the concerns of the airport manager because airport is well located at that area and if the traffic outside is not managed properly, the same airport would cause violations to the environmental rules and regulations of the country to cause the least possible pollution and harm to the environment.
One of the strategies that could be use to tackle and handle the same problem of airport mismanagement of the traffic by the airport manager is the use or carpool and many airport especially associated and issued cars which could be used by the customers. The airports could make an online service for its passengers and people travelling where the people coming from same city or going to the same city or state back could use the airport services at a cost paid and could travel at a bus or carpool something that would help in ensuring the least traffic and also least possible pollutions accordingly as per the same consequence. This would also help to solve the problem of noise pollution as well.!
