 You
may only be one person, but you can make a
difference - good or bad!
Your efforts to
prevent pollution has wide impacts in your
immediate community and throughout the world.
Be a leader and be conscientious about waste
reduction - not just garbage and recycling - but
about water contamination and air pollution.
These things
affect everyone who passes a sunny day at the
beach or jogs around block.
Stormdrains and the things we pour down them
lead straight to the ocean. Automobile
emissions have proven deleterious effects on
local air quality.
Furthermore, our
consumer choices everyday have much broader
impacts on the world. Factories producing
our "things" create tons of CO2
emissions, huge islands of plastic waste are
collecting in the oceans, and forests are being
flattened for agriculture and timber.
