These are a few things that people could do themselves to reduce pollution and help preserve our environment:

 Keep your vehicle in good condition or buy a new car. Cars built after 1994 emit much less pollution than older models because they have to have a catalytic converter fitted. Cars contribute about one-third of the emissions that cause ground-level ozone pollution.

 Use a bicycle or walk to do errands or to commute to work rather than a car.

 Bring your own bags to the supermarket; buy used goods; attempt to throw away nearly nothing.

 Save water by not wasting it. Use bottoms of 2- and 3-liter bottl

es for flowerpots to start your vegetable and flower seeds.

On 23 October, the European Commission adopted a package of three initiatives to combat climate change. The package consists of a proposal for the EC to ratify the Kyoto Protocol calling upon the 15 Member States to comply with the agreed emission levels and prepare their national ratification by 14 June 2002. The second initiative is a proposed directive establishing a framework for greenhouse gas emissions trading within the EU. When the directive is adopted, it will establish an EU framework from 2005 onward for emissions trading and an EU-wide market for emissions.
