What can be done about pollution? I know what I must do (and will do) to help reduce pollution. Although, the way I see it, there are at least three things we all should do: (1) recycle everything from cans to your old couch, (2) walk instead of drive whenever possible, and (3) pick up litter wherever you see it. Many people recycle -- a practice started almost thirty years ago -- but often they don't go far enough. Commonly recycled items include: newspapers, plastic, glass, and cans. Yet much more can be recycled, such as old clothing, furniture, appliances, and tires. Many places, including retro shops, will buy that old clothing from you. You can make a good bit of money; furthermore, the world becomes a cleaner place. Instead of always driving to the store that's just a mile away, get on your bike or walk -- the air and your lungs will thank you for it. When you're out walking, make it a habit to take a little bag with you. Picking up the litter that others have left behind beautifies the environment; moreover, you'll be setting a good example. It's not so hard to reduce pollution; however, we must all do our part.
