We know that the main contributor to greenhouse effect is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3). Added to this list are human-made chlorine- and fluorine-containing solvents and refrigerants whose emissions to the atmosphere are regulated through different global initiatives and laws. Give at least 5 simple ways which you can do at home or even during this pandemic which can help reduce the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere and thus may reduce global warming.
