Environmental Pollution and Conservation

Land Pollution

• Landfills are a breeding ground for pests, which can spread diseases.
• Littering and dumping rubbish makes the environment look dirty and ugly.

Water Pollution

• Soil erosion causes water pollution.
• Dumping rubbish in rivers and lakes is a cause of water pollution.
• Releasing waste such as sewage water into rivers and lakes causes water pollution.
• Oil spills from ships and oil rigs cause water pollution.

Air Pollution

• Harmful gases released into the air make it unhealthy to breathe.
• Cars, trucks, buses, power stations, factories and burning rubbish release gases that pollute the air.

Conserving the Environment

• Conserving the environment means protecting it from harm and keeping it healthy.
• This includes using natural resources wisely and not wasting them.

Reducing Land Pollution

• Dispose of rubbish properly, do not litter.
• Participate in cleaning campaigns.

Reducing Water Pollution

• Do not throw rubbish in rivers.
• Clean sewage water at a treatment plant.
• Avoid cutting or burning trees to prevent soil erosion and muddy water.

Reducing Air Pollution

• Walk or ride a bicycle instead of driving a car.
• Share car rides (carpool).

Conserving Natural Resources

• Coals, gas and oil are finite resources and need to be used wisely so they are available for future generations.

The 3Rs

• Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Reduce

• Reduce paper use by writing on both sides.
• Bring your own shopping bags to reduce plastic bag use.
• Reduce electricity use to conserve fuels like oil, coal, and gas.

Reuse

• Use old things again instead of throwing them away. Examples include using a cardboard box to store toys, old tires as swings, glass jars as flower vases, and plastic bottles as pencil holders.

Recycle

• Use old things to make new things.
• Recycle materials such as paper, glass, plastic, rubber, and metal.

Land Pollution

• Landfills are breeding grounds for pests.
• Pests from landfills can spread diseases.
• Littering and dumping trash make the environment look dirty and unattractive.

Water Pollution

• Soil erosion contributes to water pollution.
• Dumping trash in rivers and lakes pollutes the water.
• Releasing sewage into rivers and lakes pollutes the water.
• Oil spills from ships and oil rigs cause water pollution.

Air Pollution

• Harmful gases released into the air make it unhealthy to breathe.
• Cars, trucks, buses, power stations, factories, and burning trash all release harmful gases.

Conserving the Environment

• Protection from harm and maintaining health are key aspects of environmental conservation.
• Using natural resources wisely and avoiding waste are crucial for protecting the environment.

Reducing Land Pollution

• Dispose of trash properly.
• Avoid littering.
