This document exposes the current numbers of emissions generated by greenhouse gases (GHG). Likewise, a solution is sought for the elimination or reduction of these numbers. It focuses, specifically, on the air pollution rates, regarding urbanization and education as a starting point, as well as the conditions of modern life. From a current perspective, it analyzes some environmental policies, which have been applied by different governments in order to generate change.
