The majority of the solutions we use to handle pollution of the air we breathe have been to decrease the amount of emissions from factories and the vehicles that we drive. The general thought is that we can put some control on the situation but not get rid of it entirely.
There are possibilities that can solve the present situation that we are experiencing. First, there is negative ion technology. Negative ion is defined as an electrically charged atom or many atoms that are formed by the loss or gain of one or more positive electrons.
In layman terms, negative ion technology works similar to magnets. Positive and negative magnets are attracted to each other. The technology presently exists to use negative ion air purifiers for the home. The purifier attracts the unhealthy stuff in the air which then lands in the filter system.
What if this technology was increased in size? Perhaps the street light poles in a city can become negative ion charged. The particles of pollution in the air would be attracted to the poles and land in a heap on the ground. Street crews can go around and sweep up the pollution off of the ground.
Trees are our best friends and allies in combating pollution in the air. Just a single tree in one year's time can take about 48 pounds of polluting carbon dioxide out of the air.
You can walk along any street and pick up seeds from trees. I have found pine tree seeds, fruit tree seeds, flowering tree seeds and more. It's great to plant a tree in your yard and, if you live in an apartment, you can even grow trees in planters.
In a city, there are hundreds of buildings with flat roofs which are a perfect place to grow trees. Not only will the city look much prettier but it also will have cleaner air because of it. The trees need not be planted directly on the roof, large planters can be used. Other plants can be placed on the roof,too for a more aesthetic appearance.
Starting today, right now, having clean air is within our reach.
