Ways To Prevent Pollution

 A few simple ways to prevent pollution are:

• To conserve paper, create a place for scratch paper so it can be used again.
• When you go to a restaurant, ask for metal utensils and just in case, bring metal straws so if the restaurant has plastic straws, you don't have to contribute to pollution.
• Try to stay on the more eco-friendly side when buying electronics. Purchase bio-degradable electronics. If you are buying a phone, here is a suggestion:

• Don't use balloons because balloons do eventually come down and they might go into the ocean, trapping animals. Try using other types of decorations such as confetti.
• Try not to leave toys or trash at the beach because most turtles die from accidentally eating plastic.
• Drink from refillable bottles because over 8 million tons of plastic get into the ocean every year.
• Unplug your electronics at night or when you don't use them.
• Try to walk or bike as much as you can. Biking or walking just 1 mile a day for a year could save 330 pounds of carbon dioxide.
• Plant 4 trees and let them grow for 10 years. Doing this could save 330 pounds of carbon dioxide.
