Pubilished in the Waltham Tribune People who have never had allergies in their lives may have found themselves sneezing this summer. As you may already know, driving less can help. These simple actions will reduce the emissions that lead to air pollution. Air pollution comes from a number of sources. Cars are a huge source of chemicals like carbon monoxide.
Car exhaust contributes to the thick layer of smog over many cities.
One of the biggest polluters, though, is manufacturing. That s where recycling comes in. When you recycle those few cans, bottles, or pieces of paper, less manufacturing goes into the next batch of metal, glass, or paper. The raw materials are already there. Paper recycling is particularly important because, besides the manufacturer using less energy for new of envelopes or newspaper, he also uses fewer trees.
