Ways To Reduce Environmental Pollution
                     Ways To 
Reduce 
Environmental 
Pollution
Food Choices 
• As transporting the food across various 
parts of the country would lead to 
consumption of considerable fuel, we 
can minimize the consumption of 
excessive fuel by choosing food 
products that have been grown locally 
and naturally using viable methods. 
Hence reducing air pollution.

use of paper bags instead is a better 
alternative as they decompose easily 
and are recyclable.

Use filters for chimneys
• The gas that is emitted from fireplaces 
in homes and factories are extremely 
dangerous for air pollution and harms 
the air quality severely. 
• The use of filters should be used at least 
if the consumption couldn’t be lessened, 
this will help to reduce the effect of 
harmful gases absorbing in the air.
