Air Pollution
Hey guys! Did you ever hear about our environment being extremely bad and all? I'm pretty sure you have. Lately, our environment has become horrible. One of the reasons why it is so bad, is because of air pollution. Air pollution pollutes the air (hence its name), which is very bad for the world. The air is being polluted because of the cars we are using! Many people have told me how much cars pollute the environment, but I didn't take it seriously. I used to think, "Oh what does it matter! You can barely see any bad air coming out of the car! It probably doesn't matter too much!". Then, one day my mom was driving me to school during winter. I was just sitting here, when I noticed a car that was running in a house, and nobody was inside it. Normally, I couldn't see any smoke or anything come out of the car, but since it was winter, I saw a LOT of bad gases entering the air. It was "pouring" out of the car! I was astonished! All of that bad air is going into the air that we breath! Doesn't that worry you? That's when I started to understand the meaning of what everybody tells me about air pollution. That's when I understood that we have to try to stop this. When we do careless mistakes such as leaving the car running when you are not there, that one time will affect the environment a lot. We all have to take action of our own environment. Another way to help the environment, is to get an energy-saving car. People have made such cars, that save a lot of energy. Buggies save lots of energy. If everyone starts to use energy-saving vehicles, then our environment will get a lot better. Some other ways to stop air pollution, is to try to walk or bike to school. If you live anywhere close by, try walking. It's actually really fun. That way, you will get exercise, have fun, and stop air pollution. Do you know any other ways to stop air pollution? Have you ever walked or biked to school? Please share your comments to the class.

One way to stop air pollution is to not ride a car , motorcycle, etc. but instead ride a bicycle. Another way to not pollute is to not throw your trash onto the ground but to throw it away into a trash can.
One way to stop air pollution is to not ride a car and ride a bike to school. To stop people from smoking and also have less factories, Don't throw trash on the ground and litter. I don't walk to school or bike to school because my house is across a street and there is a lot of cars and it is dangerous to cross.
I haven't walked or rode a bike to school before because it takes about 7-15 minutes to go by car.
One way to stop air pollution is to switch to electric or hybrid cars because they don't use so much gasoline. You can also, plant more trees so that the trees will produce more oxygen. You can also ride a bike or walk of school instead of using a car or motorcycle.
NICE POST SHRILA!
Few ways to stop air pollution are to
plant trees.Another way is to use cars that run on electricity.You can also bike or walk.You can also eat food that is grown locally. Food flown half way round the world has a larger carbon footprint.
A few ways to stop polluting is by recycling your paper and other recyclable items instead of throwing them away. Also try to use reusable containers. I see some people have aluminum foil everyday and then throws it away. I really thought that polluted the air by adding that much stuff to the dump. At least they could have recycled it. I really hope that polluting stops soon. I read in an article that the icebergs are melting and lots of polar bears are dying. It said that the person who wrote the article that he had seen three dead polar bear bodies and that it was very rare to see them.
Great Post Shrila!!
I know that you can stop air pollution by riding bikes and not driving cars to school. I can't walk or bike to school because I have to cross a lot of street lights and if it is a hot day and I walk to school, then I will be scorching. So my mom drives me to school. If I had lived closer to my school, then I would've walked or rode a bike to school. Another way that you can stop air pollution is by not throwing trash on the ground or cigarettes on the grass. If you throw trash on the ground people might forget or don't want to pick it up. Later, when it has been a week, it will be rotten and smell really bad. I don't do that. People might also not pick it up and just forget about it. More people will start doing that and the whole school will be a mess. I will pick up trash when I accidentally drop some. People shouldn't drop cigarettes on the grass because maybe it still has fire and the grass will be burned. Plants give us oxygen so it will be bad if the air smelled like fire or something burning. I think we should never do anything that will make the air around us smell bad.
Nice Post Shrila!!!
I see some people polluting by pouring paint down the sidewalk. The paint leaks through and goes down the drain to pollution. Another thing is that if you are going to a park that is near and you can walk, you shouldn't just take a car because cars have a small amount of oil leaking every time you drive a car. Then the oil leaks into the drain that goes to the sea and kills a lot of animals. It can also kill fish, so there will be no food for us. My suggestion is to walk even though you are very lazy.
One way to stop air pollution is to not make stores catch on fire. If they do, the smoke starts polluting the air.
Hi Shrila,
Some ways to stop air pollution are to bike, walk, carpool, grow more trees, and take shorter routes when driving. If we grow more trees, we will get more fresh air (oxygen) to breath. Trees breathe carbon dioxide which reduces air pollution.
Yes, I did rode my bike to school to family fun night. At first, I said to my dad,"Why can't we drive to family fun night, we might be late for family fun night and it will be over. My dad said to me,"That's because it will air pollute,beside it is healthy for you." To my surprise, it only took us two minute.
We started at 6:30. When we got there it was 6:32. I can't believe that it was only 6:32. Then I said to myself,"Sometimes times fly by and sometime time travel like a turtle on land." Oh yeah, if people know that pollute is bad for our lungs, why is there a polluting company and why do some shop sell ciggaretes? Well, my dad said,"They actually just burn up some trash from the dump. Think about it, wouldn't it be worse if there is too many trash at the dump pile?" Then I think that he was right. Why do people have to make a forest fire? It is a good thing that firefighters exist. I am glad that they exist or else who will put out the fire?
leratipsOne of the best ways to help the Earth is to always walk or bike when possible. Since I live near the school I always walk/run to school when possible.
Also have you noticed that as you many of those factories have HUGE plumes of smoke coming from those HUGE smoke stacks. So if the people will use better ways to create power, T.V., toys, etc. such as nuclear power, solar power, wind power or hydroelectricity. These are all ways to provide power naturolly. If people will use these ways the Earth would be SOOOOOOOOOO much better.
Great post Shrila!!!!!!!!!
One way to stop air pollution is to stop riding in cars. You can always ride a bike to school or ride on your scooter.
Yeah, you are right. you could improve the environment riding Hybrids and riding bikes,also you could walk to your destination.
One way to make air pollution stop or reduce it is to stop factories from making poisonous gases. You should also use bikes or carpool instead of using cars separately. You can also reduce, reuse, and recycle. You can also throw away trash on the ground.
Some ways to stop air pollution is to bike to places or carpool. I don't bike to school because I live pretty far away but every Tuesday, I carpool with my friend. You can also pick up trash if you see any on the ground. I also like to plant fruits and vegetables. Another way to stop air pollution is to do the three r's, reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Great post Shrila!!!
I know also how to stop air pollution. Ride on bikes not on cars. You also can buy a car that run on electric.
I always bike to the park because it is only like 0.2 miles away from our house and there's no point driving such a less distance. The problem is you can't bike everywhere like to L.A. that you drive to. I think everyone should start biking or walking to 0.0-5.0 miles away/ They should because it takes only 90-120 minutes. You can also drive on also battery power cars like a Prius or a Honda hybrid
I usually bike, skateboard, ripstick, or scooter on my way to Wilson Park since it is real close to my house. I always thought if I couldn't see the gas coming out of a car it probably meant there wasn't any gas. I think riding a bike or something else is much better than sitting in a car. You feel more fresh and outdors than just sitting in a car trapped by a seat buckle. I also wonder why people smoke they say it's addicting and all but with all the posters of no smoking there is no excuse for smoking.
One way to stop air pollution is to use electric cars. Electric cars also get you to school faster. Air pollution is also probably the cause of global warming. Think about air pollution as a sheet of paper. If you draw a stop sign on that sheet of paper, that's like stopping air pollution, only much easier than you think.
