To save planet earth from pollution, we need to reduce the toxic emissions from burning fossil fuels. We can achieve this by the following methods:
​
1. Switching to clean energy like solar/wind energy from other sources of energy which include burning of fossil fuels.
2. By planting more trees, more carbon dioxide can be absorbed by plants.
