A company can earn pollution credits by voluntarily reducing polluting emissions below limits dictated by the EPA. Earned credits can then be sold to another company that has trouble keeping its emissions within permissible limits, or saved for future use. In real life donations to the planting of mangrove forests reduces carbon in the environment and so is a valid credit.

3. traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation.

4. A wind from the southwest or south that brings heavy rainfall to southern Asia in the summer. Created by a temperature gradients that exist between ocean and land surfaces. Monsoon occur over very large areas and are seasonal. In summer, humid wind blows from cooler ocean areas (high pressure) to warmer land masses (lower pressure). As air rises over land masses, it cools and is unable to retain water, producing great amounts of rain. In winter, the ocean is now warmer and the cycle reverses and the drier air travels from the continent out to the ocean. Monsoon winds exist in Australia, Africa and North and South America.

It comes from the combustion of coal, oil, and diesel, and of biofuels such as manure and wood. Also from agriculture, road construction, and other activities that mobilize soil, soot, and dust. Volcanoes, wood fires, and dust storms are important natural sources. It can cause respiratory and cardiovascular disease and reduce lung function, leading to premature death. It reduces visibility and contributes to haze and smog.
