Actions you can take to reduce polluting:
- Reuse, Reduce and Recycle:
The concept of recycle and reuse is not just conserve resources and use them judicially but also is helpful for air pollution as it helps in reducing pollution emissions. The recycled products also take less power to make other products.
- Avoid using plastic:
Instead of using plastic bags, for example, you can use a reusable bag, as well as you would rather use bamboo straws, replacing plastic straws.
- Reducing consuming meet:
Although the fact of stopping consuming red meat can be a radical change, you can start eating only 3 times a week, making a big change in our greenhouse gas footprint. Also consuming fish once a week would greatly help the marine ecosystem.
- Using public transports:
Using public transport is a sure short way of contributing to less air pollution as it provides with less gas and energy, even carpools contribute to it. In addition to less release of fuels and gas, using a public transport can also help in saving money.
- Implement Afforestation:
Last but not the least, plant and grow as many trees as possible. The practice of planting trees provides a lot of benefits to the environment and helps with the release of oxygen. In addition one tree absorbs what 100 cars produce a day.
- Make your own vegetable patch:
Gardening is inherently eco-friendly, more so if you are growing vegetables without using any type of chemical. Growing food organically means sparing the earth of water, soil, and air pollution. Since you are buying less produce from the supermarket, you are not contributing to the use of fossil fuel from transporting fruits and vegetables to your local grocery. If you are growing crops without using pesticides or herbicides, toxic chemicals won’t seep into the soil and waterways. You can enjoy the earth’s bounty without harming the environment.
