Steps to Reduce Pollution

• Instead of using fossil fuels, alternative sources of energy such as sunlight, wind, water, tidal powers must be put in use.
• Organic wastes should be recycled and can be used economically wherever possible. E.g. cow dung can be recycled in gobar gas plant to produce fuel and manure.
• Chemical fertilizers, nondegradable insecticides, pesticides should be used judiciously in small quantities.
• Treatment of industrial exhausts and automobile exhausts should be made compulsory by the enactment of the law. Also personally we all should minimize the use of automobiles.
• By planting more trees.
• Last but not least which is very important i.e. spreading awareness.

What is Emission Trading?

• Save

It is a global plan to reduce global warming. As set out in 17 of the Kyoto protocol, which countries signed in this protocol, they must be forced to reduce the number of greenhouse gases emitted in their country.

Or if they can’t bring the emissions of these heat boosting gases to an acceptable level. Then they will do emission trading (gas emitting business).

The countries or companies who emit more emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which is not acceptable, they are allowed to buy the best part of the countries or companies who are emitting greenhouse gases less than acceptable emissions.
