Question

how can air and water pollution be reduced?

Answer 1

Save energy around the house. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, saving energy can reduce carbon emissions. Because most energy sources require burning fossil fuels, the less energy you use, the greener you are. Set your appliances and lights on a timer to turn off after a certain period of inactivity. Use compact fluorescent bulbs instead of standard lightbulbs, and use your microwave instead of the oven to heat small items. (See References 3) 2 Manage your heating and cooling. Turn your thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer whenever you are at work, sleeping or on vacation. You can also turn your water heater down to 120 degrees to save power. Make sure your insulation is up to the recommended level for your area, and insulate pipes that pass through unheated spaces. Check to see that your windows and doors are not leaking warm or cool air. To make sure your furnace and air conditioners are running efficiently, perform regular maintenance. (See References 3) 3 Cut back on the amount of packaging you purchase and the amount of household waste you produce. The process of manufacturing packaging releases harmful emissions into the atmosphere, so patronize brands that use as little packaging as possible. Recycle everything you can: aluminum, paper, glass, plastic and cardboard are usually easy to recycle. When you are disposing of chemical-based substances like paint, batteries, pesticides or solvents, check with your local waste management office for a safe, eco-friendly method. (See References 3) 4 Reduce the amount of time you spend in the car. Carpool or use public transportation whenever you can. For shorter distances, walk or ride your bike to do errands. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, changing to carpooling can save a person over $1,000 per year. If you avoid driving alone only one day every week for a year, you can save hundreds of dollars in expenses, not to mention the wear and tear on your car. When you must drive, refill your gas tank during colder times of the day and avoid spilling gas to prevent evaporation into the atmosphere. (See References 2)

Answer

We know that we need air,food and water for our survival but these all are being exploited by the human activities but among these three most important need we will talking about water.

We all know that we need water for our survival on this blue planet ws need it for our daily work and we use it but in an inappropriate way as we think that water is endless.When we talk to onewho waste water they say that water is 3/4 on this earth.Well this fact is quite right but not all of us knew that of is 70% water only a little volume of water is drinkable and most is salty water which we can't drink.And some are of glacier so only a liitle amount of water is left for drinking.
One major factor is increasing of pollutants in water bodies like rivers and lake.Many people especially from rural areas wash their cloth in river their cattles also take a bath in river water and now these all factor are becoming bane for the water bodies. Increasing in industries also increase industrial waste which are bring dispersed in water bodies which again cause water pollution.

So,we have stand and spread awareness about the impact of waterpollution.

SAVE WATER, SAVE LIFE.
