To reduce pollution, there are several practices that individuals and industries can adopt.

Some of
these practices include:

1. Conserving energy at home, at work, and everywhere

2. Using energy-efficient appliances and looking for the ENERGY STAR label when buying home
or office equipment
3. Commuting smart by walking or riding to work or the shops instead of driving, as motor
vehicle emissions remain a significant source of air pollutants
4. Using environmentally friendly cleaning products to reduce nutrient loads in rivers and
prevent excessive algal growth
5. Properly disposing of unwanted medications to protect people, pets, and the environment
6. Making your own cleaning products with less toxic ingredients to reduce the threat of
accidental exposure and pollution of the environment
7. Reducing the use of water and chemical inputs in the agricultural sector
8. Reusing materials such as drums and pallets rather than disposing of them as waste
9. Keeping vehicles properly tuned and ensuring tires are properly inflated to reduce emissions
10. Using public transportation, carpooling, biking, or walking whenever possible to reduce
vehicle emissions
