Cut down on chemicals and use environmentally friendly or organic fertilizers and pesticides. Plant more trees and plants. Do a beach clean-up if you live by the coast or remove plastic from rivers near your home. Finally, the issue of water pollution should always be in the back of your mind during daily activities.
