Pollution has many forms. Our air, soil and water can be polluted. The health hazards associated with these pollutions are numerous. This is the reason why we need to work on ways we can reduce these pollutions.
Instead of driving to short distances, you can take a walk or ride to your destination.
This will help reduce vehicle emission that pollutes the air. You can conserve energy by turning off lights and appliances that are not in use. Keep water bodies safe from pollution. Do not dump refuse in them, purify and conserve water sources. Hope you find this information useful.
You're right and ethical in taking responsibility for reducing pollution. We are all involved in this problem and if each person, like you, did his/her bit, the world would be less at risk. You can walk or cycle instead of taking a car journey. This will be your share of reducing car emissions. You can avoid using aerosols and lighting wood fires. Well done for asking.
