Hey!!!

Here is your answer_______________



Lets have a look at easy and simple ways that you can do to reduce the water pollution going on today.
______________________________

# 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.

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 limits your consumption and means less of those products will end up in the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans.

# Recyclable Options :-

If there are two options for a particular item, pick the one that is easily recyclable.

Glass bottles are much better for the environmentthan plastic, for example.

Do Not Dispose Oils in the SinkWhile there is nothing wrong with consuming oils in your food, or applying them on your body, it is a bad idea to dispose of oils in the sink.

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

__________________________

# Cleaning Chemicals

Similar to oils, cleaning chemicals are hazardous when they enter the water supply.

If you are emptying out containers of household cleaning supplies, do it in the trash can not the sink.

Do not Throw Away MedicinesNever throw away medicines in the water supply either.

Even if you have whole pills that you do not need, it is a bad idea to flush them down the toilet or crush them in your kitchen sink disposal.

___________________________


# Household Items

Do not throw household items, such as cloths, dental floss or wrappers, 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 these other items pollute the system.

____________________________


# Garbage DisposalEven 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.

____________________________


# Dishwashing or Laundry

Only use your dishwasher or washing machine when it is close to being full.

Using these machines to clean one or two dishes, or a few pairs of clothes, is an incredible waste of water. The less amount of water you use during washing, the less.

Limit the Use of Detergents and BleachesWhile it is okay to use detergents and bleaches in dishwashers and washing machines, it is better to limit your use as much as possible.

Do not put two cups of bleach in your washing machine when the instructions only call for half a cup.

Use Environmentally Friendly

___________________________


# Detergents

Whenever possible, get environmentally friendlydetergents, soaps and dishwashing liquids.

While these are sometimes more expensive, you are doing the environment a great service by using less harmful substances.

GardeningWhile everyone wants a nice garden in their home, it is incredible how much water we waste during that process.

Install a waterbutt in your home, because it can catch rainfall throughout the year and allow you to use that to water your grass and plants.

___________________________


# Avoid Pesticides

If you need to overhaul your garden, attempt to do so without using any herbicides or pesticides.

These are very harmful to the environment.

Talk to landscaping companies in your area about environmentally friendly replacements for these products.

___________________________


# Conserve Soil

When chemicals get into the soil, they spread through the water because of the topsoil getting carried by the falling rain.

This is normal, but if the soil is exposed to excess phosphates or harmful substances, it can cause serious damage to the ground.


Contrast banks right in front of waterways so that you can stop the soil’s movement.

Do Regular Car MaintenanceIf you have a car, truck or other mechanical device, it is best to maintain it after regular intervals.

This ensures the item is running efficiently and not polluting the environment that much.

Remember, pollution in the airdoes have an eventual impact on our water supply.
