ACID RAIN IN GERMANY
GOVERNMENTS’ RESPONSE: Replacing coal burning factories with water powered ones Passed laws to reduce emissions from factories and
automobiles Factories switching to cleaner fuels Smokestacks which scrub the smoke before it enters the air Promised to use cleaner/more re-useable energy (such as
water, wind, and solar power) Use less coal and oil
