Are you under the impression that your physical well-being is somehow separate from the environment you live in? If your city is jammed with smog-belching cars, and you are breathing dirty air, you might want to get motivated about changing the situation. I don't understand your comments about reputation. Why is that important and who are the people you want to enjoy a good reputation with?
