What steps can we take to reduce pollution from Earth?

Industrial manufacturing practices are the primary reason the earth’s air is polluted. You can take action by minimizing the use of your car. Carpooling with neighbors or signing up for a car share program are also great ways to reduce your car use. You could also take the bus, subway, or train.

You could refrain from flushing contaminated liquids, pills, or medications down the drain. These substances contain toxic materials that diminish the quality of natural water systems. You could use reusable bottles, not disposable. You could make sure that you refrain from littering or leaving trash in the street. You can reduce the use of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. Excessive use of them leads to water pollution as chemicals contained in products often find a way to leach into the water systems through surface runoff or creeping into the soil.
