Preventing air pollution
There are many ways to prevent air pollution. Here are some of the ways listed:
Try alternate modes of transport like cycling, walking, taking public transport. This will ensure that there is lesser pollution though it may not be as convenient as driving a car. As half of the air pollution comes from vehicles, this will help cut down on the amount of pollution.
Not only should you drive less, you should also drive smart. Accelerate gradually, use cruise control on the highway, not breaking the speed limit, combine your errands into one trip, keep your tires properly inflated, and replace your car’s air filters occasionally.
You should also choose user friendly products, those which contain either very little or no CFCs and harmful gases at all. You should select products that are water-based or have low amounts of volatile organic compounds, and store solvents in air tight containers. Even indirect ways like cutting down the usage of paper can help as less forests are cut down and therefore promoting photosynthesis balancing the carbon dioxide in the air and the trees are "lungs" of the Mother Earth so if they are reduced what would there be to reduce carbon dioxide which is produced by respiration of living beings and the extra from burning of fossil fuels.
You should also save energy. By turning off the lights when you leave a room, replacing incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent ones, installing low flow showerheads, hanging your clothes on a clothesline, cook small meals in a microwave oven, insulating your water heater, using a fan at night instead of using the air-conditioner, you will save huge amounts of energy, thus conserving electricity, therefore lesser fuels are needed to be burnt, leading to lesser air pollution.
By doing what you can to reduce air pollution, it will make a difference. We can't stop industries from burning fossil fuels, cars producing thick fumes, forest fires causing haze, or the production of carbon dioxide. But by using your civic influence, you can reduce regional and national pollution standards, we are not so helpless and we can DEFINITELY help out. There are many many ways to do it, we have suggested some ways, remember this issue concerns everyone, and we should not ignore it completely. That is the worse thing you can do. Do your part, reduce and stop air pollution from becoming worse. The future is in your hands, deal or no deal?
