Solutions for Air Pollution

 

There are several solutions to reduce air pollution. One of them are by encourage people to use public mode of transportation.  Also, try to make use of car pooling. If you and your colleagues come from the same locality and have same timings, you can explore this option to save energy and money.

 

You can conserve energy by switching off fans and lights when you are going out. Large amount of fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity. You can save the environment from degradation by reducing the amount of fossil fuels to be burned.

 

Other than that, understand the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Do not throw away items that are of no use to you. In-fact reuse them for some other purpose. For e.g. you can use old jars to store cereals or pulses.

 

Clean energy technologies like solar, wind and geothermal are on high these days. Governments of various countries have been providing grants to consumers who are interested in installing solar panels for their home. This will go a long way to curb air pollution.

 

Lastly, use energy efficient devices such as CFL lights. CFL lights consume less electricity as against their counterparts. They live longer, consume less electricity, lower electricity bills and also help you to reduce pollution by consuming less energy.

 

On a larger scale, governments are taking measures to limit emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. One way is through the Kyoto Protocol, an agreement between countries that they will cut back on carbon dioxide emissions. Another method is to put taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline, so that people and companies will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less
