How do sources of water polluted ?​

Sagot :

Hello there! Sources of water pollute in many ways, most of which comes from human activity. Most times, things like littering and chemically contaminating water sources cause terrible pollution. Because people do not take the time out to pick up their trash and be helpful to the environment, a lot of the water and anything water is used in gets contaminated and is rendered toxic to the community. To prevent water pollution, things we as humans can do are:

1. Pick up after ourselves

Sure, it is nice to go sit by a stream and maybe eat some snacks or drink a refreshing beverage. It isn’t until after you finish your appetizer that you suddenly realize there is no trash can or recycling bin in your presence. However, this does not open a door for you to throw your trash into the stream and enter the mindset that nobody will be affected. Water contamination can affect humans, animals, and all life forms that are reliant on it as a thirst-quencher.

2. Help others

Let’s take for example that you see somebody’s trash sitting on the riverbank. I know exactly what most people would tend to think: “But it isn’t my trash!” That should not hinder anybody from picking up trash. By picking up even one morsel of garbage, you are saving thousands of people’s health.

3. Encourage others

Earth Day should not be the only day that people go out and clean up after others and themselves. There should always be people willing to do what they can to help out in the environment, regardless of whether it benefits said person.
