Guatemalan Cities

In this paragraph you'll learn about cities, pollution, and transportation. The estimated population of Guatemala is 8,000,000 people. Guatemala's largest city is Guatemala City (Guatemala City is Guatemala's capital also). In 1989 1,500,00 people occupied Guatemala city. Since 1890, 50% of trees have been cut down or destroyed. Also poor water use and pollution hurt Guatemala's environment. Two major high ways cut across Guatemala from Mexico down to El Salvador and the other connects the pacific coast to the Caribbean coasts. In 1999, less than 3% people owned an automobile, also in 1993, their was only one railroad through Guatemala. I hope you have learned alot about Guatemalan cities, pollution, an d transportation!
