Wanna check ????? Here are the "24 simple things those can be done to prevent air pollution"
How to check??
Simple...each point carries one mark/point if the answer is yes & zero if it is no. So what?..... start counting your points.
START !!!!!!!
---) Drive less & Drive smart
About half the air pollution comes from cars & trucks. Taking fewer trips in your car or bike helps cut air pollution.Driving less doesn't mean that u have to stay at home. Try combining modes of transport.
1. I really prefer to go on a bicycle instead of powered vehicles..... even at my home!!
2. Even though I don't have a cycle I want to ride on public transit instead of using car or motor bike.
3. I obey the speed limit.
4. I combine my errands into ! trip.
5. I keep my vehicle's tyres properly inflated.
---)Save energy
Saving energy indirectly reduces air pollution. usage of fossil fuels should be minimized to max possible extent.
6. I turn off the lights, fans & shut down my comp when I leave the room.
7. I prefer to use fan instead of AC.
8. I insulated my water heater.
9. I dry my clothes on a clothesline.
10.I turn off the lights, fans if i am the one to leave the class room at last.
---)Waste not
It takes energy to make & sell the products we use. There are also ways to reduce this waste which save money.
11. I choose recycled products.
12. I reuse paper bags.
13. I prefer to write, print or photocopy on bothsides of paper.
14. I choose products with recyclable packaging.
---)Watch out for the small stuff
When you breathe, very small particles like dust & soot can slip past your lungs' natural defense system. They get stuck deep i your lungs and may cause problems- starting from asthma attacks to fatal lung diseases. hence it is always needed to be careful with such small things.
15. I avoid leaf blowers & other types of equipment that raise a lot of dust. instead of them use a rake or broom.
16. I drive slowly on paved roads.
17. I avoid vigorous physical activity on days with unhealthy air.
18. I don't smoke.
---)Know the Inside story
Air pollution is a problem indoors & out. Most people live atleast 70 percent of their lives indoor. So one has to reduce pollution in home,home,school or college.
19. I don't hesitate to send smokers outside.
20. I use the products such as cleaning agents ,paints and glues outdoors or with plenty of ventilation indoors.
21. I clean my room frequently to remove dust and molds.
---)Speak up for clean air
One should what they can do to reduce air pollution. It'll make a difference.
22. I write to my local newspaper to support action for healthy air.
---)Reduce land pollution
23. I support organic farming by purchasing food grown organically which have the words "certified organic" on it.
24. I practice the three Rs ( Reduce,Reuse & Recycle ).
