Ways to prevent water pollution

Water is an important part of everyday life. Water is not only important for humans, but also for all of Earth's flora and fauna. Water is the chemical which allowed life to grow on earth. So it is very important that water is kept clean and safe. The ocean is home to the millions of species, and the clean drinkable water is an important resource for land and air-dwelling creatures. There are several ways that we as individuals and as a collective can prevent further pollution of our planet's water systems and possibly most important start to Undo some of the damage that has already done.

1. Try to avoid using too much plastics. 
Plastic is a material that, is very difficult to break it down, once produced and can cause many problems such as, it can end in the water system. While large plastics can be fished out, smaller plastic particles can cause incomparable damage.

2. Plastic waste is not only damaging water when breakdown, but due to the losses done to marine life, it can spread death and decay in water.

3. Re-use those things where possible. Specifically, the grocery bags should not be thrown away when the groceries are put away. Instead, you should keep your bag and reuse them.

4. Try to select recyclable and resuable options : things like resuable batteries significantly reduce the amount of hazardous waste produced, while opting for glass bottles over plastic bottles can help because glass is easier to recycle than plastic. Glass bottles are easier to wash out and reuse than plastic ones.

5. Oil in the water system are the cause of many problems, and mainly from the home kitchens. Sinks should not be used to discard oils and fats. Instead, they should be collected in a container and disposed of at a proper facility as solid waste.
