Answer:

plze mark it as brainliest answer..

1. Use Less Plastic

It is very difficult to break down plastic after it is produced. Much of the plastic we consume ends up in the world’s water supply, where it is even harder to fish out and safely throw away.

If you can use as few plastic items as possible, you are helping the environment. Plastic waste also spreads decay in the water supply.

2. Reuse Items

Whenever you buy something that is not recyclable, such as plastic, it is better to reuse this item as many times as possible. This habit limits your consumption and means less of those products will end up in the world’s rivers, lakes, and oceans.

3. Recyclable Options

If there are two options for a particular item, try to pick the one that is easily recyclable. Glass bottles are much better for the environment than plastic, for example.

4. Do Not Dispose of Oils in the Sink

While there is nothing wrong with consuming oils in your food or applying them on your body, it is a bad idea to dispose of grease, fat and used cooking oil in the sink or down the drain.

It is better to dispose of oils in the garbage, or collect all your excess oil in one bottle and then throw that away.

5. Cleaning Chemicals

Similar to oils, cleaning chemicals are hazardous when they enter the water supply. If you are emptying containers of household cleaning supplies, do it in the trash can, not in the sink.

6. Handle Toxic Chemicals Properly

The toxic chemicals like ammonia, bleach, paint, paint thinner, and many other chemicals are becoming a severe problem, and if these are dumped down the drain or the toilet, the effects add up. Therefore proper disposal of these is important.

There are many recycling centers and drop-off sites for safe disposal of these hazardous wastes that can take the old paint, used motor oil, and other chemicals and recycle them.

7. Shop to Stop Water Pollution

Try to avoid buying products that contain persistent and dangerous chemicals in the first place. Nowadays, companies are selling non-toxic cleaners and biodegradable cleaners and pesticides.

If you spend a little extra money on those products, it automatically cuts down on water pollution.

8. Do Not Throw Away Medicines

Never throw away medicines in the water supply, either. Even if you do not need them, it is a bad idea to flush pills, liquid or powder medications or drugs down the toilet or crush them in your kitchen sink disposal.

Hormones and other compounds end up causing adverse effects on fish and other aquatic wildlife, on septic systems and contaminate drinking water. Follow the safe way for proper disposal for all types of medical wastes.

9. Avoid Toilets For Throwing Household Items

Do not throw household items, such as dust cloths, tissues, dental floss, wrappers, and other paper goods into the toilet when you are done with them.

Toilet paper is specifically made in a way that breaks down easily in water pipes, but the fiber-reinforced cleaning products that pollute the system.

10. Garbage Disposal

Even though most homes have a garbage disposal system in the sink, it is better to use it as rarely as possible. This system can break down solid objects, but those items are harmful to the water supply. It is better to throw them in the trash can when possible.
