      Lots of things can cause the air to be polluted. The big ones that cause air pollution are:
      Burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas
      Pollution emitted from cars trucks, jeeps, cars, trains, airplanes
      The use of dangerous chemicals in agriculture and farming
      Emissions from factories and industry

      We can reduce all of these by reducing the electricity we use (like turning off the lights when you leave a room), recycling, use renewable energy sources like the Sun, and taking public transport when we can.
