Canadian Clean Air Day is on 6 June.It is a chance for Canadians everywhere to focus on the problems of air pollution and to actually try to do something to help reduce the problems.

What can we do to fight air pollution?

transit.(66)If everyone tries this for one day,you'll be amazed by the difference it can make to the air in towns and cities.

don't have a garden,then you can do your bit in other ways.(67)For instance,did you know that

modern,improved stoves can reduce smoke by as much as 80--90percent?So you can make a big difference if you upgrade the appliances in your home.
