Solutions for pollution

If you've been reading the Easy Breathers air pollution pages, then you know that everyone is responsible for pollutants in the air, and that everyone is affected in some way by air pollution. Therefore it is everybody's responsibility to reduce, or even eliminate, emissions.

Get a head start! Volunteer to make some changes in your lifestyle. There are a number of cheap and easy steps you can take to reduce pollution. If you don't, things will probably get worse. Then you may be forced to make changes that could be expensive and inconvenient.

For example, the air in Mexico City is so bad that the government had to take drastic measures to cut back on the number of vehicles on the road. Their solution was to make a law that restricts driving during the worst air pollution season. It works like this: if your car has an even-numbered license plate, you can only drive on even-numbered days; and if your car has an odd-numbered license plate, you can only drive on odd-numbered days. Sound like fun? Probably not. Then...

Take control! As Grid Guy says, "it's all about choices..." Choose to improve the air around you!
