Most of the handlings regarding pollution in our air has been to curtail the amount of factory and vehicle emanations. The general agreement is that nothing can be done about it and it will get worse.

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.

Here is a simple non-technical explanation of how negative ions work. Put up a negatively charged magnet next to a positively charged magnet and the two snap together. It is similar to how a negative ion air purifier works in the home or office. The unhealthy paticles in the air are attracted to the purifier and gets trapped 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.

Take frequent walks in your neighborhood and pick up the seed pods that are just laying around. Of course, you should leave some for the birds but if no one claims the seed pods, the trees will never grow because in a city there is tar and cement. You can find a full variety of trees such as pine, oak, fruit and flowering trees. Plant the seeds in the ground or, if you don't have the space, in a container.

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.

Right now, today and this minute, you can do something effective about the pollution in the air we breathe.
