They require little effort and are the polite thing to do.

The new foundation called, Clean Air is the New Air, is set up to help tackle the ever growing air pollution problem. Information on how to cut back on air pollution can be found on the website.

Harry recently tweeted "We can only defeat the obstacle of air pollution if we work together" he received thousands of comments and retweets even one form Kim Kardashian who promised to only take her private jet if the destination was more than an hour away because she would do anything to save the earth, even if that resulted in having to fly in a plane with others.
