Join us in the fight against pollution on World Pollution Prevention Day - let's work together to create a cleaner, healthier planet for everyone!
December 2 is World Pollution Prevention Day, a day to recognize the important steps individuals and organizations can take to reduce pollution. This special event began in 1989 as an effort to highlight efforts and strategies for reducing emissions of hazardous substances into the environment. It's also a great opportunity for people from all around the world to come together with one goal - helping protect our planet!
On World Pollution Prevention Day, take your car to the shop to get an emissions test, and make sure it passes. You can also do your part by carpooling or taking public transportation when possible.
Invest in reusable bags and containers for shopping and packing your lunch, and bring them with you when you go out. Say no to plastic straws and utensils so you can help reduce plastic pollution.
Take a walk around your neighborhood and pick up any litter you see along the way. It’s an easy way to help prevent pollution while also keeping your community looking nice.
Trees are essential for reducing air pollution, so why not spend World Pollution Prevention Day planting some in your local park or school?

Pollution is one of the biggest threats to our planet's health. It can contaminate our air, water, and soil, disrupting ecosystems and making it difficult for plants and animals to survive. World Pollution Prevention Day serves as a reminder that we all need to take action to protect our environment from further harm.
Air pollution has been linked to a wide range of respiratory illnesses such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Increased pollution levels have also been linked to higher rates of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. By limiting the amount of pollution that is released into the environment, we can reduce these risks.
The pollution we generate today will have impacts on future generations. Our children and grandchildren will be the ones who are forced to live with the consequences of our actions if we do not take steps now to reduce our environmental impact. World Pollution Prevention Day reminds us all of the importance of working together to make sure that our planet is healthy for generations to come.
