Excess nitrogen oxide deposition causes a reduction in tree population in forests. Frequent emission check and servicing would help in curbing acid rain. Next to vehicular pollution, agriculture plays an important role in releasing nitrogen in the atmosphere. Use of organic fertilisers and controlling the use of pesticides will help in reducing the acid deposition.
The resource conflicts will be entirely terminated when we stop considering the consumption of nature as profits, as a free good, while we diminish our natural capital. The precedent rates of accretion of capital, which are now merrily schemed forward, were achievable due to the indefensible exploitation of natural resources.
