Acid rain is mostly caused by sulfuric acid...a byproduct of the coal-fired power plants in the upper midwest. Now, everybody, let's begin to discuss alternative electrical generation systems...wind power, nuclear, geothermal, solar and hydroelectric so that we can replace those old plants with something cleaner.

Reduce the combustion of fossil fuels and use more renewable energy sources. Stop NOx and SOx from entering the atmosphere, as these are some of the primary ingredients in acid rain

In the south west by reducing NOx or essentially pollution coming out of car tail pipes which eventually becomes nitric acid.
In the northeast the release of SO2 from coal turns into sulfuric acid. So lowering sulfur in coal/diesel or less emmisions.

reduce the amount of sulphate and nitrate being emitted into the air. These two gases are the main acids in acid rain because they become aqueous with the water particles in the atmosphere and become acids.

Go outside when it's raini and Sing this:
"All the raindrops candy balls and gum drops
Oh what a rain it will be!
Standing outside with my mouth open wide(open your mouth and stick out your tongue out) Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah..."
Repeat Verse (and motions) 3x
Or repeat it until you collect all the acid rain.
