Eco friendly ways to curb air pollution

Eco friendly ways to curb air pollution 

Air pollution has become a global issue in the recent years. If we do not stop polluting the air then our world is going to become a messy place. So I am Rodger Bloor and today in this blog I present Eco friendly ways to curb air pollution. The meaning of Eco Friendly is not harmful to the environment. 

Saving Electricity (My view)

Saving electricity is an Eco friendly way to reduce air pollution because in most parts of the world electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. So if we save electricity we can reduce the total  requirement of electricity. If we reduce the requirement of electricity we can reduce burning fossil fuels for producing that electricity  which we would be otherwise wasting  due to our carelessness. 
Eg; Do not forget to turn off the light while you are going out of a room. 

Saving Electricity  

In most cases, electricity is produced by the burning of fossil fuels. This practice releases large amounts of exhaust gases that add to the dangerous levels of air pollution that is already destroying human lives. Therefore, as a rule, make it a practice to switch off any burning light or moving fan as you move away from a room.

Control Waste by using the 3rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle)

Do not throw away all that you do not use now. It is easy to throw stuff, but remember that any object that ends up in a landfill contributes to the generation of more methane and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and its harmful effects. Put every unwanted or old object to new use. Make seats out of used tires and chairs with old bathtubs.

Explore Alternate Energy Sources

 

Alternate clean sources of energy that are much in vogue today are wind, geothermal, solar, etc. Governments of countries are offering various sops for those that are ready to install solar power plants in their homes. This will serve to reduce air pollution to a considerable extent.
The Governments of all countries should take initiative to replace thermal plants and use renewable energy resources to produce electricity. 
Example; Hydro Electrcity, Solar Energy etc. 
It is not only the responsibility  of the government to start taking initiatives it also our responsibility. Every house should install a rooftop solar plant. In this way we can stop fossil fuels getting burnt for producing electricity required to light up our houses.

Some other Eco friendly ways to reduce Air pollution.

Use CFL, and now, LED lamps, instead of fluorescent or filament lamps. They last longer and consume less energy. Use electric devices with a ‘five-star’ energy rating. These are the more energy efficient devices. By consuming less energy they contribute to the reduction of air pollution.


If a large number of people adopt environmental friendly ways to reduce air pollution, the job is half done. As an example, you could choose to wear an extra sweater to feel warmer and help to save energy spent on heating your home. Turn off the water tap when you are not using the water (while brushing your teeth, washing your face, etc.). Dry out your clothes on a clothes-line. Do not use a dryer.


These are only a few ideas. You can come up with your own inexpensive and innovative ideas to reduce air pollution and encourage sustainable living. It pays to spread these ideas in groups so that the balance can be achieved faster. More environment-related volunteering activities by large groups (personal, industrial and governmental levels) will surely help in the longer term.

Using Public Transport

Use public modes of transport and carpools when there is more than one person wanting to move out of the same locality. Both these methods are way cheaper than traveling in one’s own car and save tremendously on energy costs and contribute to a reduction of exhaust and air pollution.

The Journey to South Goa

  The Journey to South Goa We began this journey on the morning of 4th October 2019.  4th October 2019 (Friday) I got up at 4:30AM. I brushed my teeth and got ready. We kept the dental kit inside the bag. We wanted to start before 5AM because it takes around 11 hours to reach Goa by road from Bangalore by car if you go via the Chitradurga- Hubli highway. It was 10 minutes past 5 when the driver showed up at the our house. His name was Ramesh. He was suggested by one of my mother's friend Mr  Toms. He used to work in the hospitality industry. Then I was told to get into the front seat because my father wanted to sleep in the back seat because he had not slept enough the previous night. It was a white Toyota Etios. Then we started the car and drove towards the national highway. The road looked very quiet because it was 5 in the morning. It was drizzling in the morning and because of that it was a bit wet and cold. Then we drove quietly till 6AM. By then we had passed Peenya a

Covid-19 economic effects, China's rise, foreign policy and Indian Economy. Introduction I have been writing about my travel experiences all these days. But this one is different and my usual travel stories are not possible now due to covid-19. This post is about economics, diplomacy and covid 19. A different kind of a post. I will be discussing 4 topics in this post. They are economic effects of Covid on the world, China's rise as a global super power and its irresponsible  handling of covid, its aggressive foreign policy and then finally should India choose Capitalization over socialism.  Covid 19 Economic effects Fall in the GDP growth. This pandemic has just taught us how dependent we are on others and how dependent one country is on another country. The shutting down of industries and halting of farming activities have hit the global supply chain resulting in the deficiency of food supplies in many parts of the world. The recent US-China Trade war has resulted in the slowi

India's Foreign Policy

India's Foreign Policy Representative image only Introduction You would have already guessed what this blog is about. Yes, it is about India's Foreign Policy.  India is an emerging power and has the potential to become a superpower. Every country needs good allies to become a super power. India has a huge diplomatic outreach primarily due to its Diaspora. It has always taken a neutral stand during the cold war. India was heading the non aligned movement. Even though India was neutral, it was more dependent on the Soviet Union than the United States. Some of India's economic practices during the cold war era also resembled the policies of Soviet Government. India was very dependent on Soviet Union during the cold war era even though it was neutral.   India's Diplomatic Missions  India's diplomatic and foreign policy is handled by (MEA) Ministry of External Affairs.  Diplomatic missions of India India has diplomatic relations with almost all countries in the world.
