 5. How to protect the earth from pollution?
Protecting the Earth from pollution is a complex task that requires collective effort at individual,
community, corporate, and governmental levels. Here are some key ways to help mitigate and prevent
pollution:

 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:

 Minimize waste by reducing your consumption of single-use items.

 Reuse products when possible and recycle materials like paper, glass, plastic, and metal.
 Conserve Energy:

 Use energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.

 Turn off lights, electronics, and appliances when not in use.
 Invest in renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power.

 Limit Water Usage:

 Fix leaks in faucets and pipes.

 Use water-saving appliances and fixtures.
 Be mindful of water consumption in daily activities.
 Choose Sustainable Transportation:

 Use public transportation, carpool, or bike instead of driving alone.

 Choose fuel-efficient or electric vehicles when possible.
