Answer:

Reduce Deforestation and Begin Reforestation - Deforestation and soil erosion are very much interconnected. For example, the effects of acid rain and floods can decimate healthy soil in the absence of trees, which would otherwise help absorb and maintain these waters and the toxins that come along. Soil erosion can occur when there are no trees or few plants to prevent the top layer of soil from being removed and transported by forces of nature, such as water and air, which contribute to soil pollution. Through reforestation efforts and planting new vegetation in areas that are prone to erosion, soil pollution can be further prevented.

Avoid Intensive Farming Practices, such as over-cropping and over-grazing, as it leads to flood and soil erosion and further deterioration of the soil layer.

Reduce Your 'Waste Footprint' - Waste, such as plastic, non-biodegradable materials and litter, can accumulate in fertile land, polluting and altering the chemical and biological properties of soil. According to the Clean Air Council, almost one-third of the waste in the U.S. comes from packaging - try to purchase materials with the least amount of packaging and always Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

Discover Soil Washing, which uses water to remove contaminants from soils by “scrubbing” soil to remove and separate the portion of the soil that is most polluted. Soil washing reduces the amount of soil needing further cleanup and is typically used along with other methods to clean up the soil as it is usually not sufficient enough to do the job alone. Soil washing allows the clean-up of polluted soil in place without having to excavate.
