Stop smoking cigarettes 🚬.... Second hand smoking 🚬 is more dangerous which inhaled by kids

What are the steps that people can take to reduce pollution inside their homes?

The future of our children depends on our actions today. Let's work together to reduce air pollution and create a healthier world.

Protecting the environment in which we live, requires a holistic approach; from individual efforts to the wider national and global action. As an individual; You must ensure that due precaution is given to activities (such as deforestation, burining of fossil fuels etc) that might incite climate change. Instead, we should be encouraged to plant more trees. For manufacturing companies; Alternative solutions to reduce the flaring of gases in the atmosphere can be considered. The use of renewable energy is recommended. For the government; Policies on environmental conservation, flaring of gases, and afforestation should be strengthened. Overall, the dream of having a world free from climate change requires the effort of all and sundry

Destaca-se muito sobre a redução de CO2, devido ao efeito estufa, mas pouco se fala sobre o impacto de Materiais Particulados, Aldeídos, Gases Sulfurosos dentre outros. O resultado se vê na rede hospitalar, no atendimento de doenças respiratórias em crianças e idosos, mas principalmente na população em geral em diferentes doenças como câncer de pulmão, fígado, pâncreas e doenças coronarianas e até impotência sexual dentre outros. Investir em transporte limpo, portanto, transcende o aspecto ambiental, mas afeta a saúde da população. Cabe aos Gestores Públicos, portanto, entender o retorno do investimento, das soluções de transporte com baixas emissões. Vale a reflexão! Somos o Instituto Zero Morte para a Segurança em Transportes, para nós TODAS AS VIDAS REALMENTE IMPORTAM, e para você? Junte-se a nós nesse desafio. www.zeromorte.org.br

Dal 2014 ad ora l Italia ha collezionato ben 18 procedure di infrazione dalla Corte e dalla Commissione Europea per ripetute e prolungate contaminazioni dell aria in molte citta e regioni italiane senza aver opposto alcuna iniziativa valida. Inerzia grave e colpevole

We totally agree! A healthy environment where every child can thrive is a kind of future we look forward to
