You can even convince your family to drive the car less often. Electricity, heating, air conditioning and car engines are all created or powered by burning fuels like coal or oil. Burning fuels release pollutants that dirty our air. Water is another of Earth's main resources. All living things on Earth need water to survive, but clean, unpolluted water is getting harder to find.
Many people waste water or pollute it.
Try taking shorter showers or turning off the water while you brush your teeth. Help to keep our water clean. Tell your family never to throw any trash into a body of water. Convince your family and friends to use Earth-friendly cleaning products. Never pour chemicals like paint or detergents down the sink drain or onto the ground.
