I searched for the meaning of 'pollution' because if it comes to words we easily give a different meaning to it, we adopt the false meaning a certain person gives to it, a meaning that's published and forget the true meaning.
Pollution is confusing and I like the meaning 'man made waste' since that's what it's all about.
Men not animals or plants. Flora and fauna find a way both evaluate if needed. It's just that humans feel the need to interfere which rarely works out as planned.
The common man won't make much difference if governments and wealthy just like factories don't change their behaviour. They won't because it's all about the money, making more money and living the good life.
Man made waste, we could put a halt to a part of it. Own shopping bags, containers, milk in bottles and giving up on all the paper, cardboard boxes with/and plastic.
Reusing, repairing instead of buying or simply doing without it.
Where I live there's a group with private people where you can publish what you have and are willing to share with others. You can borrow chairs, ladders, clothes, bikes, games, tools and so much more. There's no need to own everything you might only use for a few days a year.
