Who Will Give a Hoot When There's No More Clean Air?
Air pollution can cause serious respiratory, heart, and lung problems. Any substance introduced into the atmosphere that can harm living things or the environment is considered air pollution. Motor vehicles are the single largest human contributor to air pollution. Some ways to reduce air pollution include walking, biking, carpooling, taking public transportation, recycling, purchasing energy efficient products, and driving less.
Appeal to All People: Help Stop Climate Change
One of the serious environmental issues we are facing to day is climate change. What causes this? How do we help stop it? This presentation answers these questions.
