How Can We Citizens Reduce Pollution?
By: Katelin Kukk
There are three main types of pollution: land, air, and water. Air pollution contains contaminants in the air that can be harmful to humans, wildlife, and the environment. One way to reduce air pollution is to reduce the number of trips in your car, or carpool with friends to reduce the emissions that are released from your car.
Water pollution is harmful substances that harm any body of water. A method to reduce this pollution can start right at your house. During the winter, don’t reach for your bag of melting salts to keep your driveway from freezing. Kitty litter works just as well and doesn’t harm plants or water!
Lastly, land pollution is the accumulation of waste or any harm to soil and the land. Making sure trash is thrown into cans or throwing any food scraps into a composter are great ways to reduce pollution. Another way is to be more conscious of where your produce comes from. Buying from farmers that use natural ingredients to take care of their crops instead of harmful pesticides is a great step to reducing pollution.
