Though pollution is everywhere, there are ways to help prevent it. By walking or riding bikes—instead of driving cars—people can help decrease air pollution. People can also buy and eat organic foods to support farmers that do not use fertilizers on their crops. It is also a good idea to take old things that people intend to throw away and find new ways to use them. A great way to help the environment is to recycle. Save items like used paper, glass and plastic bottles, and metal cans. Then, take them to a recycling center where they can be turned into new products to be used again. Some cities and towns even have recycling programs in place so all you have to do is leave your recyclable items on the curb on a certain day each week. It doesn’t get much easier to help the environment and reduce pollution than that! In paragraph 5, what point is the author making when he talks about ways to prevent pollution? A) Simple changes can lead to big improvements for the environment. B) Reusing old items in new ways can actually harm the environment. C) One person’s efforts will have little impact on helping the environment. D) It is easier to reduce air pollution than it is to reduce water pollution.
