Celebrating National Clean Air Month: 4 Tips For Healthy Air

It's officially National Clean Air Month! And, while fighting air pollution is for the long haul, we believe that you don't have to hold your breath to find ways to deal with this problem. 

Contrary to what many people might think, switching to a sustainable lifestyle is as easy as using a glass bottle instead of a plastic one and visiting the local markets on the weekends. 

You don't have to go above and beyond to alter your carbon footprint. With the following tips, you can make your life more accessible and still live sustainably. With that in mind, here are the top 4 tips you can keep in mind to reduce air pollution to a greater level. 

Wait, Where Does Air Pollution Come From? 

With the onset of industrialization and development in the late Eighteenth Century, the question of sustainability has always been a pain point. And, while factories do emit a lot of harmful gases into the air, road transport has always been a major contributor to air pollution. In fact, 80% of the total air pollution is because of transport. 

Another reason why city life offers a lower life expectancy than country life. 

4 Tips for Healthy Air

Now that you know transportation is perhaps the major contributor to air pollution, here are some easy, subtle ways you can incorporate into your daily life to reduce air pollution. 

Shop Local 

Here's a great way to cut down on your fuel footprints. Rather than traveling by car, you can always choose to shop from local markets or shops. This will not only help you cut down on your carbon footprint but also reduce your traveling expenses. 

And, if traveling is still inevitable, you can always opt for public transport or choose a route that is often less crowded. 

Ride A Bike 

Riding a bike or even walking to work can be a great start to the day. Because good habits tend to start early, encourage your kids to travel by bike or foot. 

In fact, kids who travel by foot to school are more likely to stay active during their adult life. Aside from just reducing pollution, it is also a great way to keep your body moving. 

Switch Energy Suppliers 

Did you know indoor air quality is more harmful than outdoor air quality? To take a step towards greener impact, you can switch to energy suppliers that use renewable sources to tap into energy. 

To choose the right supplier, you can ask them for their Energy Performance Certificate. 

Don't Burn At Home

It's true that you can't control landfills at an individual level. However, you can surely avoid burning at home to improve the air quality index indoors. 

Burning fuels like open fires or wooden stoves greatly impact the air quality. Moreover, you should also avoid burying fallen leaves or trash on your lawn.
