Spill oil in it!

It can be polluted by factory wastes

First there are factory wastes which contain harmful or radioactive substances that get mixed up with water and spread diseases to fishes and use up oxygen in water which then suffocates the marine life. If these poisoned fishes get eaten by humans they might die. Then there are fertilizers and pesticides which are sprayed over plants and washed away by rains or floods to water bodies. They then use up oxygen as well as poison aquatic life. Household sewage contains harmful bacteria and that poisons and suffocates marine life. Sometimes this cases algae to grow over water in large quantity which uses up dissolved oxygen. Some fishes get tangled up in packaging's and some swallow Styrofoam which makes them feel full and stop them from feeding properly. Fish farms also pollute water because the fish that are kept in chemicalized pens have the water washed into water bodies and they pollute water. Oil spills often occur and they coat the water with oil preventing oxygen inside and blocking sunlight. Animal farms are also responsible for throwing the animal waste into sewers directly.

Acid rain, oil spillages, rubbish deposition, water-bourne diseases and radiation.

Bacteria, dust, trash, garbage are all things that contaminate water.

Why is there no refund on plastic water bottles that are sold in stores like soda bottles?

I don't have an exact answer, but I believe that non-carbonated drinks don't have a deposit and carbonated drinks (sodas, etc.) do. I think that there needs to be a refund because the water bottles will just wind up in a land fill and pollute the planet and waste space where other things could be. i think that EVERYTHING should just be recycled there really is no use for land fills all the garbage can be burned or recycled. Yes the gases from the burning garbage may pollute the earth but it won't pollute it as much as it is right now.


Why do people pollute the water?

Because it is more cheaper. People don't want pay garbage companies. Some people are just lazy or don't care.First of all I think we shouldn't pollute water because it contains bacteria, and we drink it. Over 71% of earth surface is covered with water bodies and other chemicals that humans tip in the drain.Most people pollute because they don't want to pay for someone to pick up the garbage and dispose of it properly. Some people just don't care what happens to it or where it goes as long as they don't have to carry it around with them any longer.
