The document discusses different types of pollution including solid waste, air, and water pollution. It provides examples of sources of each type of pollution such as vehicle exhaust contributing to air pollution, industrial and sewage waste contributing to water pollution, and increased plastic use contributing to solid waste pollution. The document also outlines some of the negative effects of each type of pollution like health problems from air pollution, water becoming unsuitable for drinking from water pollution, and contamination from poorly managed landfills in the case of solid waste pollution. It concludes by suggesting solutions for each type of pollution like reducing vehicle use and properly disposing of waste to help address pollution issues.

in the sink rather than the yard
•Fill a spray bottle with soapy water instead of bug spray
•Plant trees to prevent soil erosion
•Keep litter, pet waste, leaves, and grass clippings out

your yard- put them in a
compost
• Keep your family cars in
tune
• Put catalytic converters
on cars
