Ways to help the water quality
Ways to help keep water clean
1. Improving protections to reduce pollutants like bacteria and viruses, which threaten Americans' health and well being
2. Take the bus - On average, you will prevent 33 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per day. Be careful what you put into your septic system: Harmful chemicals may end up in your drinking water.
3. Reuse containers, recycle plastics, aluminum, and glass.
4. Equip farmers with practical ways to keep harmful run-off out of our waters
5. Prevent deforestation and destruction of grasslands – nature’s water filters
6. Save water and dont take such long showers.
