The world's air pollution levels are rising year on year. What should humanity do to counter this problem?

Atmospheric abuse is a pressing problem in our current times

as our own health and the well-being of our posterity. Though a radical shift is needed towards novel ways of industrial production, there are

also

some immediate actions that we can take to tackle

For example
