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.
