What can be solutions to environmental issues?
* Contact Your Government - Tell your local officials that you want information on the community's water supply and local polluters. Make sure officials recognize your right to know about your water supply. * Dispose of Hazardous Waste - Make sure that hazardous waste is properly disposed of, not simply left around or placed with other garbage. * Don't Dump Chemicals - Never pour toxic substances down the drain. Although water is cleaned, cities do not have the equipment to eliminate all toxic substances from the water supply. * Find Your Water's Source - Learn about where your community's water comes from. Keep a close eye on this water source and encourage others to do the same. * Read Well Reports - Community well operators often produce monitoring reports on the safety of local wells. Ask the operators to give you a copy of these materials and stay up-to-date on your wells. * Substitute Substances - You can make your own non-toxic versions of many popular products, such as insect repellents. Doing so prevents the toxic chemicals found in these products from entering the environment and the water supply. * Test Your Water - Especially if your water comes from a private well, you should perform periodic tests for bacteria, metals, and toxic chemicals. * Use Nontoxic Substances - If you can avoid purchasing products containing toxic chemicals, do so. Otherwise, there is a threat that these chemicals could enter the environment and the water supply.
