Solutions for reducing air pollution output are transportation
efficiency, smarter buying habits, and conserving energy. The first solution is
improving your transportation efficiency. The first thing you can do to reduce
pollution is to car pool or use public transport. By using public transport rather than a car
you will generate several times lower ozone pollution and up to 30 times less
CO2 emissions. If you do choose to use your car try improving your fuel
economy. You can do this by avoiding accelerating quickly, braking hard and
driving at high speeds, especially when in heavy traffic. You should also remove
excess weight from your car and remove unused roof racks or bike carriers,
which cause drag. The second solution to reducing air pollution is to change
your buying habits. You can do this by buying environmentally friendly products
or buying locally made products instead of importing them. That's because the
practice of mass-producing, packaging, and shipping goods to make them readily
available to consumers is directly responsible for industrial emissions that
pollute the air. Another thing to do is to buy products that you can use again e.g.
glass containers. You should also recycle products instead of throwing them in
the bin and try making compost bins from garbage scarps which you can later on
put into your soil as a fertiliser. Another solution to reducing air pollution is
conserving energy. This can be simple things like turning off the lights and TV
when you’re not using them. These small actions are more important than ever
when it comes to reducing air pollution, since the electricity that runs your
lights and appliances is generated by emissions-producing coal or natural gas
plants. You should also get rid of old appliances that use lots of energy in favour
for more modern energy efficient appliances. In conclusion these are all little
things you can do to help reduce your output of air pollution.
