  What is airpollution? According to the website MedPlus, air pollution is the mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Causes of air pollution include but are not limited to: car and truck exhaust, factory waste, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes, wildfires, and even cow burps, which are filled with a malignant greenhouse gas called methane. The solid and liquid particles in the air are called aerosols.

  Why We ArePassionate Air pollution is one of the many universal issues, which affects the whole world, and in order to have a good life, the world requires care and protection. Since an overwhelming number of individuals around the world suffer from asthma, especially because of the amount of air pollution, it is another reason why we feel that our passions match this topic. Additionally, some of the group members’ relatives are victims of the disease, which also adds to our unwavering desire to help end air pollution. We believe in protecting our planet of tomorrow and keeping the air we breathe clean.

  Action Plan In orderto achieve our BIG GOAL, our team plans to create a website that encourages our generation to take initiative and become educated on the topic of air pollution. Our website will be targeted to students, for we wish to help them develop better habits at early ages. To reach out to older students, the website will encourage them to start a Pollution Solution club in their community to help fight air pollution all around the world . Students who are passionate enough to start clubs will be given a list of suggestion actives that reduce emissions.

  Implementing at Home Inorder to reduce the amount of aerosol in the atmosphere, one way is to use renewable resources for power. Some examples an individual can achieve at home are: ● Using a solar panel for electricity at home, ● Use wind turbine-generated electricity if it’s available, ● Burning biofuel or using an electric car for transportation, ● Using geothermal energy for air conditioning, ● Or even hydroelectricity if you’re near a body of moving water.

  Change Starts withYou There are many different ways that everyone, no matter what age or background, can help to reduce air pollution. Another batch of simple ways to reduce the toxic air emissions coming from your home include: ● Purchasing products with the ENERGY STAR logo, ● Turning off the lights, ● Choosing a cleaner commute, ● And attempting to use environmentally-safe cleaning products and paints whenever possible. Remember, change starts with you. Be a part of the solution, not the pollution!
