Acid rain is produced through the massive burning of natural, nonrenewable fossil fuels. The three main sources or activities primarily responsible for this include- driving automobiles, industrial manufacturing and creating electricity. Therefore, if we concentrate on reducing the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide half of the battle could be won.
The following actions will result in lowering the emission of deadly chemicals such as sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide into the air, and in turn reduce acid rain: (a) use energy-efficient appliances (b) purchase products made from recycled materials because they take less energy to make. (c) purchase fuel-efficient cars (d) use compact fluorescent energy efficient light bulbs (e) minimize the use of automobiles by walking, carpooling, bicycling (f) use mass transportation as much as possible.
