2. What are the primary sources of air pollution? What actions can you take that will reduce air pollution? Which air pollution strategies seem to help reduce current threats and how can we best build upon those strategies?

3. How do you think communities and governments could encourage recycling efforts? Or should industry be forced to reduce packaging and waste? What are the pros and cons of a tax on the garbage individuals/families create weekly based on weight/volume? What would influence you to use less/recycle more

Answer 1

Answer: Due to increase in the population, increasing in the rate of construction, buildings by deforestation causes many of the forest vanished. This causes distrubance in the ecological systems. This also causes increase in the temperature because of increase in the carbon dioxide.

Controlling population is one of the ways through which we can decrease the major effects on the climate change but it is a long term process. Population can be controlled by reducing the number of offsprings and proving proper information to the citizen so as to make them aware of the effect of population on the climate.

The primary source of air pollutions are:

• Automobiles
• Fumes coming from chemical industry
• Smoking
• Burning of plastics etc.

The air pollution can be reduced by reducing the use of products which involves CFC, reducing the use of the automobiles for the short distance, increase the use of the public transportation etc. can reduce the pollutants.

Government should impose tax or fine on using plastics, they should be banned. The recycling, reusing the products can reduce the risk of the pollution.
