124、. Every day we have to take in very dirty air, which does great harm to our health. To reduce the pollution, we should take action immediately.Firstly, we should call on people to take a bus or ride a bicycle instead of driving a car. We should try to use cleaner fuels when driving. Secondly, some factories which send out heavy smoke should be closed or moved out of the city. Whats more, we need to plant more trees and grass to make the air fresher. Only in this way can we enjoy a better air quality.I hope you can take my suggestions into consideration.Yours, Li Hua
