Earth Day fact from Green Team: Air pollution is a growing problem worldwide, as nations become more developed with more factories emitting pollutants into the air and more cars being driven. Air pollution is especially problematic in south eastern Asian countries. Air pollution and resulting deaths are increasing fastest in Asia. That’s terrifying, and the problem also exists in the US, as air pollution in California kills an estimated 25,000 people per year and costs $200 million worth of medical expenses. Although air pollution doesn’t seem like such a huge problem at first, it is. The easiest ways to help are to walk or bike whenever possible, and to take public transport, or to carpool. It’s also good to know that the Clean Air Act exists, with a goal of cutting carbon emissions from existing power plants 20 to 30 percent by 2020 (relative to 2012 emission levels).
