No. It's the other way round. Using less electricitymeans there is less carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.
Electricity is mostly produced by burning fossil fuels, which release carbon.

If you conserve energy, you will use less energy, and you will therefore need to generate less energy, so your energy generation will produce less air pollution.

What is the advantage of using windmill to generate electricity?
Less pollution
How does using lights less help stop air pollution?
Using lights less uses less electricity. Most of the electricity that powers lights comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to air pollution.
How could using less electricity help to reduce air pollution?
if we reduced our use of electricity's could conserve stocks of fossil fuels and reduce air pollution
How you can reduce air pollution?
you can use less electricity. first of all dont ride cars as much,
Ways in conserving electricity?
Is using less Electricity
Does using solar energy contribute to the global climate change?
Using solar energy, such as solar panels, does not contribute to global climate change. Solar panels use silicon chips to convert the sunlight into electricity. Electricity is good and is not harmful to the environment at all. What is harmful to the environment is huge amounts of carbon dioxide which cause global warming. Most electricity is produced by burning coal which lets off a lot of carbon dioxide. However, using a solar panel does not create any emissions whatsoever and actually benefits the environment because you are using less electricity made from coal.
What is an advantage of minimizing pollution?
More fossil fuels will be saved as all this pollution is coming from the use of fossil fuels. Also it will contribute less to global warming (pollution), making our air nice and fresh to breath in
How did Thomas Edison contribute to the industrial revolution ?
He made electricity less expensive and more readily available
What is being done about Thermal Pollution?
One thing that being done about thermal pollution is that less electricity is being used. Another thing is that heated water is being reused and stored to reduce thermal pollution.
What are the benefits of using eco-bulbs?
it costs less money and uses less electricity
Why should you buy solar lights?
They decrease the amount of electricity you use which in-turn causes less pollution. (Pollution made by the production of the electricity through means of burning coal or water generators.) It'll also help you cut down on your electric bill.
How is not recycling affecting the world?
it is using less energy from power plants which is helping with pollution
