One of the major concern in pollution control is pesticide . Many pesticides have safe, chemically-free organic alternatives. By using non-toxic methods, you reduce the amount of dangerous chemicals that flows off of lawns and into storm drains.

well the use of fuel and the smoke it emits has caused a lot of pollution over the years and factors like acid rain have also become a common sight now. I think we should only use an automobile when utterly necessary. Just because we can afford it, doesnt allow us to waste it.

It's not particularly that difficult to stop pollution - one way is to stop using your car so much. We have trams where I live and I take that to places often. However, in the more developing countries there are still vehicles used regularly which have high levels of pollution.

You can try to use bicycle to work, and use some eco friendly product too. Organic foods, cleaning product for dishwasher, etc. And try to not waste too many plastics.

I guess this should be taken seriously by those companies who keeps on producing hazardous stuff, all we have to do is to stop buying those stuff and before buying check if this has negative effect on our environment.

Making sure your car doesn't omit harmful smoke is one way to start, and another is to stop littering!

Many people careless throw stuff on the ground when there's a trash bin nearby. Small things like this can make a difference in the long run.

There are many ways of controlling( not stopping) the pollution

People who has got a car should do a Regular PUC checkup.

Should avoid mixing wet garbage with dry garbage.

Try avoid smoking especially at public places.

Switching off car engines when the RED signal is ON

I think it is not much that an individual can do but the following are the least we can do I think:

1) Use gel to style your hair instead of spray.
2) Bring your own bag to the supermarket.
3) Drive only when necessary.
4) Turn off the lights.
5) Recycle everything you can.
6) Compost your yard waste.
7) Spread the info so that more people will follow. (That's what we are doing here, right?)

I am sure that there are more, please add everything you can think of here and we will have a list of items to guide us to make the earth a better place.

1)One way we can stop pollution is by stopping oil leaks which DAMAGES THE OZONE.
2)We can stop polluting the ozone by avoiding CFC's (CHLORO FLORO CARBONS).

Pollution and global warming due to it is a big threat to the world. Controlling pollution is a must that every citizen in the world should help in.
A couple steps that would change everything globally would be -
  • Encourage the usage of disposable and biodegradable materials instead of the plastic materials which do not decompose, and cause pollution.
  • Reduce the usage of pollution causing petrol and other oils which release carbon rich gases that cause air pollution.

These 2 would reduce major part of pollution.

Cool Re: How can you stop pollution?

Pollution can be prevented by decreasing dependency on fossil fuels as source of energy. That is using alternative sources of energy such as wind, hydro electricity, solar, tidal, bio fuels(produced from sugarcane), bio gas. Replace chlorofluorocarbons by fluorocarbons (which do not damage the ozone layer). Decrease the use of fertilizers & fertilizers. Do not dump your wastes near rivers,canals or sea. Factories should use less toxic chemicals, treat their effluents to remove harmful chemicals before disposal, not dump poisonous waste into open drains.

Well that's some of the ways to prevent pollution.

stop air pollution
i think we have use vehicles in proper way to reduce the air pollution. I don't think that it is fair that a single person driving his/her car to places where there is public transport facility is available. cars are designed to carry 3 or more people. when only one use it, efficiency is decreased and it results in air pollution......We must use public transport facilities as possible and should try to avoid use of private vehicles as the use of oil fuels will decrease amount of exhaust will also decrease. it help loudly in controlling air pollution

well reducing pollution is an issue which is widely discussed in all the countries all over the world. various steps have been taken by world organizations to reduce pollution such as carbon credit. if we have to eliminate pollution first thing we have to do is to make every one aware of its harmful effects and also give them specific suggestions as to how to reduce it. industries on large scale have to take responsibility of the toxic pollutants coming out of their chimneys as well as sewage tanks and going directly in to the rivers. and to do all this government has to take strict corrective measures.

pollution is one of the biggest problem in the world but still we are sleeping and not contributing to decrease the pollution by various ways.. if we really think serious then we can decrease the pollution by controlling few things at our home..

1. use less electricity
2. use less refrigeration
3. try to recycle the waste
4. dump the waste properly
5. use less paper.

we can help lessen pollution by starting at our own homes. we can segregate garbage, don't buy harmful chemicals that could affect our ozone layer or the atmosphere. we need to make our homes eco-friendly, then we can spread it out in the community until the whole world picks it up and pollution is lessen.

to stop pollution at individual level, one must ensure that they themselves are not spreading it. make sure that your vehicle is checked with respect to pollution and has a certificate that it is pollution free. also not throwing our home waste at inappropriate places will also help
apart from this, listening to music at low volume would ensure no noise pollution and ensuring that running water is not wasted would ensure no water pollution

pollution needs to be stopped and it is the duty of every citizen to limit it to the least possible values. My way:
1. Get CNG fitted in your car: automotive pollution is one of the major sources of pollution
2. The government can do a handful by strictly enforcing the norms for industries which are the primary cause of water, air and land pollution
3. Recycling:- this is the keyword, recycling non biodegradable waste can be of great help

stoppage of pollution- the most difficult job especially in country like India where a large population are illiterates. but if we talk of how it can be done then the first step and the simplest one is that we can plant more and more trees. we can start using more and more public transport, use CNG instead of petrol and diesel, do not dump garbage in public places and on streets. these are some of the simple steps we can take on controlling population.

Environmental pollution is a big thing. But even our small steps can improve the situation, work as a big footprint. Personally I try to avoid creating pollution . And like to recycle the things that can be recycled. I like the vehicles run by natural gas. One thing I miss is trees. Be kind to plants and animals can be a moto. we are living in the same small world after all.

Here are my tips on how to prevent pollution:

Ride bicycles while going on a small journey. Improving your health conditions, reducing cost of petrol and reducing pollution.

Prevent use of CFC so as to prevent depletion of ozone layer.
(TIP: use desert coolers instead of ACs)

Use paper bags and cloth bags (both cotton and jute) instead of plastic bags, since they can be recycled.

People can actually do so much to promote better environmental conditions. Recycling is one good way. Wrappers, plastic bags, used up batteries and cartridges can all be recycled to reduce waste accumulation in the world.

Recycling is the best way to control pollution to some extent by recycle we can reuse the waste goods and this will save the product from getting wasted or spoiled. Environmental pollution can be easily controlled by planting more trees that is much helpful in providing fresh oxygen to the world and absorbs carbon which is much harmful to us.

Pollution is increasing with very rapid pace and harming our environment badly. To stop this we all should have to go green by using green organic and Eco friendly products. Moreover grow more and more trees on empty land.

confused Re: Pollution impacts environmental changes - How can you stop pollution?

I am very scared of pollution and its effects, and I think one way we can stop pollution is by reusing. Less than 5%(i think) of waste gets put through waste-to-energy process. I think to help, we should put more waste into this process. Can't we reuse the gases and energy from companies? Possible pollution such as gas or liquid should be reused over and over as steam in order to power the plants. More of the gas would be sent to places to power them.

^^^Note: I am just a kid who has some ideas. I don't know if the above information can be used to help the environment. I am very good at science, but i'm going into research about these possibilities. My ideas are only ideas and i have no clue if they would work.^^^
