They are:Conserve electricity.4Use automobiles less.4Collect water/snow samples and test them for pH.4Contact local environmental groups about their involvement in the acid rain issue.4Study historical sites, buildings or monuments in your area and determine how they are being affected by acid rain.4VI.
