Question

Describe four strategies you can personally engage in to reduce environmental pollution to protect your own health. What are the barriers for implementing these strategies? Do you feel that environmental causes are important and why or why not?

Answer 1

The four most important actions (each) for dealing with the problems of air pollution are,

1). Restricting the usage of fuels such as petroleum products that release toxic gases into the atmosphere.

2). Wide range implementation of using the alternative renewable sources of energy such as solar power.

3). Increasing the plantation.

4). Regulating the carbon dioxide and methane emissions.

Barriers to implementing the strategies: Increased population on the earth and technical advances demand increased usage of fuels, and growing animals to meet the food demands, which altogether enhance the emissions that cause air and water pollution. Deforestation rate is higher than the re-plantation rate, which is one of the causes of increased carbon dioxide levels.
