A major concern of mine within our community would be the Air quality. Due to rising amount of carbon monoxide alongside with Nitrogen and other chemical pollutants the air not only in Kansas but around the entire world the air is suffering from pollution caused by cars, factories, refrigerators, and other household appliances and chemicals. Air pollution can cause serious problems such as acid rain, smog, and Accumulation. Acid rain can destroy entire crops of corn and damage certain kinds of aquatic life while smog is a whole collection of air pollutants and humidity mixed together, and accumulation is when nitrogen sinks down into the ground and mixes with the water we drink, but there are ways to combat air pollution. For starter if we all started to walk more to our destinations so long as they are within reasonable range of course. Then we can save gas and decrease is pollution, and another good way is to car pool as much as possible. Also to decrease and clean the carbon monoxide in the air we can all plant trees, flowers, bushes or whatever kind of plant. Planting trees will not only help the air but the local wild life as well by providing both shelter and food. Also instead of using chemicals to kill of weeds and insects go to your local library or to a web site and find environmentally safe and historically effective way to protect your garden. An old way of getting rid of aphids from ones garden is to introduce Ladybugs to it. There are many more helpful hints info on air pollution on the following websites. http://www.onlinediscountmart.com/cogape.html
