The main pollution we will be talking about will be air pollution. Air pollution is caused by a number of things including probably the biggest cars, factories, dry cleaners, wind blown dust, and even wildfires. Air pollution can cause a number of things including Acid rain, global warming, smog, and ozone depletion. Air pollution also poses a significant risk to human health meaning serious respitory illnesses.

There is one main thing that the general public can do to lower air pollution in cities that can cause anything from a respitory disease to lowering the IQ of children. That is to just not drive as much. For example combining trips, and walking to nearby places you normally drive to. So help keep the air clean and you wallets full because your not wasting as much on gas if you drive less.
