What are some ways to Clean up the atmosphere?

Question

I'm researching this but everything seems very technical and not practical...So I'm looking for some ways... Practical every day life ways, to clean up the atmosphere.

Answer 1

You can start at home by changing your cleaning products and personal care products. Then teach your friends.  Why these they are chemicals going into our ground, drinking water, in our air.  Further more they are being absorbed by your body. Below included things you can use also.

Answer 2

You can try in the good ol USA but what we as individuals put out is like spitting in the ocean.  Figure a way to get a handle on places like China and India and then you might have a toe hold.

Answer 3

run or walk to school/work, use public transport more then using your car, instead of having lots of cars to go to a place try sharing cars so their will be less cars etc

Answer 4

Recycle... recycle recycle recycle. We used to have to full garbage bins every garbage day, then our parents really enforced the recycling thing, and we use less than one now :)

Carpool, or take public transport.

Encourage friends/family/coworkers to start doing simple things like recycling their pop cans, etc.
