Air is a mixture of gases that forms Earth's atmosphere. It consists mainly of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and trace amounts of other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Air is vital to life as humans and animals breathe oxygen from air to survive, plants use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and need nitrogen to grow, and air allows smells and sounds to travel. People also use air to generate electricity with wind turbines and for other purposes like drying hair. The document then provides tips for conserving air quality like practicing the 4Rs, choosing more sustainable transportation, and planting trees, as well as discussing international agreements and national/local initiatives to address climate change and protect the environment.

21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and very small amounts of other gases. There is an average of about 1% water vapor. Air is vital to life on Earth. * Humans and other animals breathe the oxygen in the air to survive. * Plants need carbon dioxide to make their own food. * Nitrogen in the air is important for plant growth. * The molecules in the gases that make up air allow smells to travel to our noses and sounds to travel to our ears.
We also use the air in other ways.
* To generate electricity with wind turbines * Dry out our hair * Tidy leaves. • Energy Conservation • No open burning of waste -Practice waste segregation and reduction at source -Practiceback-yard composting -Practice 4Rs (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle and Repair) -Patronize eco-friendly products (e.g. made of biodegradable materials) • Choose to walk or ride bicycle whenever possible. • Plant more trees.
