What to Focus On

  • Pollution is the contamination of air, soil, or water by harmful substances.
  • Pollution prevention focuses on reducing or eliminating pollution at its source.
  • Efficient resource use, safer substitutes, and eliminating toxic substances are core prevention strategies.

  • Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so more than one person travels in a vehicle.
  • It reduces carbon emissions, traffic congestion, and the need for parking spaces.
  • Carpooling lowers each person's fuel costs, toll expenses, and driving stress.

  • Public transport includes trains, trams, buses, metros, and ferries available for general public use.
  • It relieves traffic congestion and significantly reduces air pollution from road transport.
  • One bus or train replaces dozens of individual cars, dramatically cutting emissions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pollution prevention means cleaning up pollution after it has already occurred.

Carpooling means using a taxi or cab service to share rides with strangers for money.

Public transport and carpooling are the same thing.
