Pollution from vehicles and plants contribute a greater proportion of green house gases to the atmosphere. These green house gases acts as a thick blanket, trapping much of the sun’s heat, thus warming the earth. These pollutants also cause respiratory and cardio-vascular diseases in humans.
By controlling the emissions from power plants and vehicles, we can improve the quality of air we breathe, indirectly our health. Some countries encourage car-pooling, thereby reducing road traffic, fuel and pollution. Using modern technology to build electric cars, relying on other sources of energy such as wind and solar can indirectly reduce global warming. Architects can design works that utilizes minimum energy and less vulnerable to heat and flood. Transport planners can do their best in creating and encouraging safe public transport system to allow convenient and an eco-friendly commuting for the public.
Finally, educating people about global warming and their health, on how each one of us can contribute to save energy and reduce our bills by simply choosing a fluorescent lamp over an incandescent bulb and switching them off when not needed is critical. Making them prepare for disasters and enhancing disaster management is highly essential.
