What can be done to clean the environment?

Question

What can be done to clean the environment?

Answer 1

One of the simplest ways to at least begin is to stop buying disposable everything.  I don't buy coffee in the morning with disposable cups, I re-use my mug.  That alone would cut down on what goes into a landfill if more people did just that.  Not to mention all of the other things along those lines.  If people would just be more mindful of what they really need to use instead of being wasteful, just imagine how much less we would pollute and how much less garbage we would produce.

Answer 2

Recycling and careful-usage of products.....

Answer 3

We keep doing what we are now. Cars, power plants, etc...are producing less pollutants than ever in the western world.

The problem lies in the developing world like China and India. Those countries are producing more pollutants than the US and Europe combined!

Unfortunately the Kyoto treaty tries to punish nations that do not produce many pollutants while doing nothing to nations that do,
