people are concerned about stopping air pollution, many
don't understand the severity of the problem or aren't sure
what to do about it. Since you've done some research on
pollution, use your knowledge to make a difference by
talking about it with other people. The more people know
about pollution, the more likely we will collectively find a
way to stop it. Just talking about pollution with other
people can lead to interesting discussions. Be prepared
with answers for people who don't think there's anything
they can do to help stop it.
Pollution and the damage it causes is a very serious topic
that some people may be averse to discussing. As
someone who cares about this issue, be sensitive to
others' perspectives and find ways to help them gain a
deeper understanding of what's happening to the earth.
