Mother Earth is already saturated with pollution and all of us must help in anyway we can in order to reduce pollution. How do you help reduce pollution?
I practice reduce, recycle and reuse. This is especially with plastic materials that are non-biodegradable. I hope those who are manufacturing plastic products will make all plastic materials biodegradable too so that garbage will be reduced on earth.
How about you? Are you concerned about the growing problem regarding our environment? If you do how do you help? Please share us your views regarding this matter.

I do my best, but sometimes it can be really hard... for example I have to drive 30 miles each way to work. I do things like park half a mile from work and also half a mile from home. I know that's only 10 miles a week a I save, but I figure that has to be better than nothing over a lifetime.
I also reuse where I can - rather than recycling as that still takes up more energy. I love Freecycle as you can get rid of things you no longer need without throwing them away and you can also rescue other people's cast offs before they end up in landfill.
I'm no green saint, but I do try and bear the environment in mind with everything I do.
