As a consumer there is little that can be done - goods are not stamped "Low acid rain processed materials." like goods containing recycled paper.
About the only thing that can be done is to lobby government through independent action or as a member of lobby groups (or in some countries a Green Political Party) to make and enforce tougher emission criteria for industry.
In some cases governments have insisted that imports from "dirty" countries are not permitted. Recent American initiatives aimed at not buying "Dirty Oil" from Canadian tar sans developments are an example.
At the industry level acid emissions can be reduced or eliminated by using sweeter fuels (less sulfur), treating exhaust gases to remove acidic components, and running th temperature and pressure of the combustion system to minimize the formation of NOx
