Having a fresh air to breathe is becoming a rarity. In Asia, people are getting sick every day and we have no one else to thank but pollution. There is a constant battle with poisonous gases which have made the continent an abode for bad air, allergies and other respiratory problems.
In the west, the air does not seem to be much of an issue, but in the near future, it may be. Politicians are turning their backs to nature, and this is a serious ticking time bomb that we really should be wary of. People who live in rural areas with little or no manufacturing industries now live longer than those in highly industrial cities.
This post is centered towards educating out readers, in order to make them understand the little ways through which they can purify the air around their homes for a much healthy life.
