Prevention

Give up your car and opt for greener forms of transport.

Turn off electrical appliances when not in use, use energy-efficient light bulbs and limit the use of air conditioning.

Don't burn rubbish, and don't burn waste such as plastic packaging in the oven or fireplace.

Save water, e.g. by taking shorter showers, turning off the water when brushing your teeth, and fixing leaks.

Choose recycled products and avoid disposable packaging.

Buy products that are environmentally friendly, such as biodegradable rubbish bags.

Limit your meat consumption, as meat production is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions!

Avoid the use of chemicals, such as pesticides, which can affect air quality.

Plant trees and plants that help purify the air.

Take care to recycle batteries and other waste that can affect air quality.

Use renewable energy such as solar or wind power where possible.

Save paper, e.g. by printing double-sided and using recycled paper.

If you consciously avoid air pollution and follow most of the above advice, educate others! Try to encourage them to take action to protect the environment.
