• Keep car, boat, and other engines tuned up according to manufacturers' specification.
• Be sure your tires are properly inflated.
• Carpool, use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever possible.
• Use environmentally safe paints and cleaning products whenever possible.
• Some products that you use at your home or office are made with smog-forming chemicals that can evaporate into the air when you use them. Follow manufacturers' recommendations for use and properly seal cleaners, paints, and other chemicals to prevent evaporation into the air.

Water pollution. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds..
How keep water clear?.
If you want to help keep our waters clean, there are many things you can do to help. You can prevent water pollution of nearby rivers and lakes as well as groundwater and drinking water by following some simple guidelines in your everyday life.
• Conserve water by turning off the tap when running water is not necessary. This helps prevent water shortages and reduces the amount of contaminated water that needs treatment.
• Be careful about what you throw down your sink or toilet. Don’t throw paints, oils or other forms of litter down the drain.
• Use environmentally household products, such as washing powder, household cleaning agents and toiletries.
• Take great care not to overuse pesticides and fertilisers. This will prevent runoffs of the material into nearby water sources.
• By having more plants in your garden you are preventing fertiliser, pesticides and contaminated water from running off into nearby water sources.
• Don’t throw litter into rivers, lakes or oceans. Help clean up any litter you see on beaches or in rivers and lakes, make sure it is safe to collect the litter and put it in a nearby dustbin..

how keep earth clear .
To save our environment and stop the increase of land pollution we must be motivated to consider the inheritors of the Earth, our descendants. What will our children's children have to deal with if we don't make an attempt to control toxins now? A people-idea-exchanging, eco-friendly website,Saving Our Environment, suggests these tips:
• Domestic or human waste - Instead of dumping human waste into designated landfills, much of our waste can be recycled or incinerated to lessen pollutants. State and federal governments need to design, enforce, and control the best ways to deal with domestic waste.
• Agricultural waste - Plant-based insecticides should be used by farmers and with more affordable pricing. If a farmer has a choice of a cheaper insecticide that is not good for the land compared to a more expensive eco-friendly product, which one do you think they will choose? Governments and manufacturers of harmful insecticides need to be more proactive in developing affordable pesticides.
• Industrial Waste - This type of waste comes from mining and mining pools where predetermined holes are used to dump mining waste. Mining and other industrial wastes will contaminate the soil over a period and, again, rules and regulations on how to deal with mining and industrial waste should be addressed and enforced.
• Conservation - To deal with the human element of waste, communities must join to reduce waste, recycle waste or reuse waste. Recycling the waste from our homes is as easy as designating containers for plastics, glass, ****ls, and paper. Once these types of wastes are mixed, it's hard to recycle them. For example, you can turn food waste into compost for gardening and farming. Glass, plastics, and ****ls can be returned and recycled at the manufacturer level; however if they can't receive the recycled materials in a single form, the effort fails..
