#SAYNOPE TEAM
FROM PRATTMWP
Noise pollution is the propagation of noise with harmful impact on the activity of human or animal life, normally caused by transportation systems and industrial areas.
#SayNope is a campaign inspired by the #MeToo movement and its ability to use social media and the power of communication to bring a terrible travesty to light. Our goal was to gather all the information we could on the harmful effects of noise pollution and to bring awareness to a very real problem that seems to just be ignored.
Ironically, noise pollution is the pollution you never hear about.
