Best Answer

People cam walk, cycle or share cars to reduce pollution from vehicles. People can also use public transport rather than always travelling by car. Everyone can also make an effort to save energy by switching off lights when they are not being used and using energy saving appliances- when less electricity is being used, pollution from power plants decreases. You can also use an alternative energy source such as batteries, solar or wind power, electricity and many others.
