The problem which needs to be solved is air pollution and its growing rates. Every day people drive their cars all around, to work, to school or to other places. Some people are close enough that they could ride their bike however they would rather drive their car and put off pollution. We also use a lot of energy which uses a lot of coal, which puts off a lot of pollution.
First of all, people drive their cars around a lot. They drive to work, school or other different places. They burn a lot of fuel, which puts off pollution along with the exhaust, also putting off pollution. If some people would ride their bike or walk, we could save a lot of coal being burned for fuel. Maybe next time when you are going somewhere close remember to just walk there, or ride some sort of man-powered vehicle.
Second, people leave lights on all the time. They leave energy running all day, which not only costs a lot of money, it also puts off pollution. People could create a small routine to make sure all the lights are turned off. Also appliances such as refrigerators can take a lot of energy. If you were to buy a more energy efficient fridge, not only would it reduce pollution it would also reduce your energy bill. Washers and dryers also use a lot of energy, those can be replaced too. Most off all, if people would buy more energy efficient bulbs, there would be so much coal that wouldn't need to be burned.
In conclusion, if we do simple steps we can prevent a lot of coal being burned. We can walk or ride our bikes instead of driving our cars. We can also replace appliances for more energy efficient appliances which cost less and burn less. Will you help reduce pollution?
