-You can reuse your plastic bags instead of throwing them away.

-You can check with your city government and ask if all your waste is going to a safe and controlled place, not the ocean.

-If you like to go on boat rides a lot, the gas kinda kills the water. So you can go on boat rides every once and a while. That's what we do.

-There is so much more I could go on forever! Ask friends and neighbors, family and coworkers!

The next time you go to a supermarket, look down the aisle of cleaning products and detergents. What you see will soon be purchased, used, and then washed down the drain or flushed. This includes things like drain cleaners, shampoos, hair dyes, and beauty products. Remember, that everything that goes down our drains we have to pay for our sewage treatment plants to try to clean out.

Now think in terms of the manufacturers of these all these products and the waste from their plants. What they discharge is regulated by the government, but even small amounts of contaminants when you add up all the manufacturers is cumulative. Then add in all of the other products manufactured and add in their small contribution of contaminants. In addition, all of the exhaust particles (soot) from every vehicle that is driven eventually gets washed down sewers and into waterways. Any trash or debris on the land also gets washed into sewers and into the waterways.

An individual person can reduce, reuse, and recycle (and keep the trash picked up), which works as well for preventing water pollution as it does for preventing all pressures on the environment. The most important one is reduce; less going down the drain, less manufacturing, less transporting of goods.

How can you save water from air pollution?

Air pollution can have significant effects on water. The nature of the pollution is that it takes place across vast areas and it difficult or impossible to protect water from pollution that is airborne. One of the best known causes of water pollution is that of acid rain, resulting from various oxides from burning fossil fuels dissolving into water to form acids. The simple and effective prevention is to avoid the air pollution. To a lesser extent, air can affect bodies of water such as lakes and oceans. In both cases, we do not have the resources to prevent contact between air and water so the only reasonable and viable action is to prevent air pollution.
