The effects of air pollution are evident too. Release of sulphur dioxide and hazardous gases into the air causes global warming and acid rain; which in turn have increased temperatures, erratic rains and droughts worldwide; making it tough for the animals to survive. We breathe in every polluted particle from the air.]]> 2017-12-11 01:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877531 Who are the stakeholders or competing interests? s71107 https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877562 Mostly The industry and conmpanies working with gasses and chemicals that then us humans use daily.]]> 2017-12-11 01:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877562 What are the potential consequences or future effects of this issue? s71107 https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877597 Pollution disturbs our ecosystem and the balance in the environment.

Generally, it's important to conserve energy because sources of energy like electricity, diesel, gasoline, and wood would contribute to air pollution. Rather than driving a car or riding a motorcycle, you can ride a bicycle or walk to perform errands. Try to reduce trips and use public transportation. Gas-powered garden equipment should be avoided as well as the burning of trash, leaves, and other materials. It's also a good idea to perform regular car maintenance and engine tune ups, making a point to replace the car's air filter and oil on a regular basis. If everybody does the small things to reduce air pollution, the environment would benefit collectively.]]> 2017-12-11 01:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877662 Is your issue unique, or is it an example of similar issues happening in other areas? s71107 https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877680 Air pollution is being seen by many states in the USA and some of them have high level of air Pollution such as California,Arizona,Texas,Colorado.]]> 2017-12-11 01:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214877680 s71107 https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214880147 2017-12-11 02:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214880147 s71107 https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214880565 2017-12-11 02:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/s71107/ey8s5jnsrxt9/wish/214880565
