Avoid Polluted Air

Air pollution comes by garbage burning and toxic waste disposed of without control. The problems this causes are multiple health.

Everyone can help to prevent air pollution

The serious problem of air pollution is that our atmosphere is a closed space and all it releases into the environment remains locked and the accumulation of pollutants and is such that they have started to damage the ozone layer like that protects us from UV rays from the sun and the Earth suffers a global warming is causing glaciers to melt at the poles and that are experiencing great changes in climate.

Shares of air pollution prevention must be seen by everyone, everywhere and at all times, to really be effective.

1. Each of us in the city generated an average of 1.4 kilos of garbage a day. In Mexico City 12,000 tons of waste generated daily, equivalent to fill the Azteca Stadium 14 times. The manufacture of packaging involves an expenditure of energy and materials often come from non-renewable resources like oil and minerals. Our options are to reduce the use of packaging and recycle paper and cardboard, glass and plastic.

2. When you turn on the light or the car in a country that generates energy through the consumption of coal or oil, you’re helping to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, aggravating environmental problems. The use of other energy sources including solar, wind (wind) and tidal (sea), as well as utilization of geothermal energy (subsoil) help prevent pollution. We must provide our bit.

3. When traveling using few places in the car, petrol consumption and pollution they produce is greater than if they shared transport. Environmental pollution is a problem that must be fought with intelligence. Try to form a group of friends, relatives or acquaintances who are in the same direction. The less we move vehicles more environmentally friendly. If we bring all our efforts, we will have more strength to save this planet.

4. There are many options for environmentally friendly:

* Use public transport more often, so save energy and produces less pollution.
* Walk or bike when you move the place to go this close.
* Use less hot water, cold water is healthier.
* Water your plants at night or very early, so the sun will take longer to evaporate the water.
* Reduce, recycle and reuse materials instead of throwing them away like garbage.
* Avoid buying disposable items and non-biodegradable plastics.
* Not throw garbage on the streets, forests and parks, wrap or cover it well at home.
* Use pesticides rationally.
* Avoid consumption of snuff.
* Caring forests, no fires or destroy the green areas of the city.
