We can help remedy the problem of air pollution. Vehicle emmissions are one of the worst causes of air pollution so more of us should ride bikes, walk, or even carpool. Such things are very popular when gas prices go up but get pushed to the wayside when gas prices are down. No one really thinks that they alone can make a difference but every single person can definitely make an impact and put a dent in the fossil fuel and gasoline air pollution. They can also change what vehicles they purchase and go with things like electric cars that don't use fuel.
There are many things that people can do to solve the air pollution problem of today or at least to decrease it. Being willing to be inconvenienced is sometimes the only way that the greater good can prevail though and not just everyone is willing to go outside their comfort zone.
