Jor ¿Icotoqy s Sake y»ur Part » * NJ • * There are immediate steps you and your family can take to help control environmental pollution. Amway, a leading in-home sales company marketing home cleaning products, suggests some positive things you can do: - Remain calm since cool heads working for solutions are more effective in solving problems than hot heads spreading hearsay. - Be willing: to pay for adequate sew age treatment. to wait a reasonable time for industry to implement air, water and noise pollu tion controls. to work - what’s worth having is worth working for. Support efforts to improve sewage efficiency and capac ity. CONSERVE WATER: A family of four consumes an average of 200 gallons of water a day, without the consumption of industry. - Running dishwashers and clothes washers only when necessary and only at full capacity. — Keep at a minimum the operation of the garbage dis posal. - Water the lawn only in the morning or in the eve ning when it is not immedi ately lost through evapora tion. WATER POLLUTION: Use limited or no-phosphate de tergents in your washing machine. Measure your de tergent according to the manufacturer's label instruc tions. With many cities en forcing phosphate percent ages in detergents, check that your detergent con forms to local ordinances on phosphorus content. Many ordinances require that de tergents contain no more than 8.7% phosphorus by weight. SOLID WASTE POLLU- T1ON: Litter is truly a family affair. About 5.3 pounds of waste are dis- carded by each person in the U.S. every day. Streets, highways, campsites are lit- tered by nice people who believe good housekeeping is for the other fellow. Here are a few corrective steps to take: - Maintain refuse cans in good condition with tight- fitting lids. - Take a litter walk — picking up candy wrappers, etc., as you go along. - Equip your car or truck with a litter bag and use it. - Leave picnic grounds and campsites better than you found them. - Bring your own trash bags just in case the camp site containers are full or none provided. Bring trash home if necessary. - Never use highways or open areas for disposal of washing machines, furniture and large items. This is be coming common practice, creating eyesores in our finest recreational areas. AIR POLLUTION: Walk or bicycle instead of driving whenever possible. It’s good for the body as well as the environment. — When you take your car, take a friend. Car pools, public transportation and more efficient management of short trips out of the house cut down on the number of cars in the streets. — Investigate anti-pollu tion devices on new car pur chases. - Don’t burn leaves. Use them for compost. Start a compost pile for disposal of grass cuttings and vegetable wastes. If you must burn trash, use only a properly designed incinerator. NOISE POLLUTION: Noise is being labeled as the “new pollutant” by many author ities including the con cerned medical profession. Doctors are beginning to label noise in the home, factory and outdoors as a major influence increasing tension and related diseases. - Turn down the volume on your entertainment appliances. - Noise-test appliances, toys, etc. before you buy.
