What can be done to reduce air pollution is to remove factories from cities and use lead-free petrol in cars.
The pollution of rivers, lakes and seas leads to the death of the creatures that live in them. Factories
are largely responsible for the present situation, which is expected to worsen if governments do not make
them to obey the law against pollution and punish industries which pollute water.
Finally, all over the world, especially in cities, we see huge amounts of rubbish in the streets, which
we are responsible for. The rubbish collection system often does not work properly and people
