7. Ways of prevention • Eat organic vegetables and fruits Pesticides, especially organ chlorines, can persist in the environment and often end up in the oceans. • Conserve water The less water goes down your drain, the more efficiently your sewage system can treat sewage. • Eat less seafood Much of our seafood is caught in destructive ways: dynamite fishing, cyanide fishing, and driftnets. Around the world, fisheries are being overexploited. • Use "cleaner" household cleansers Read the labels on detergents, polishes, disinfectants, etc., and choose those that damage the environment less. Ask your local green group for advice. • Buy hemp clothing or unbleached cotton Normal cotton is a very pesticide-intensive crop. Hemp is generally grown without pesticides. Bleaching fabrics is a very polluting process. • Don't buy shells, coral, or other marine animal products By buying these things, you encourage people to go out and get more. this can often lead to destruction of the marine environment. • Cut down on consumption generally Everything you buy is shipped around the world by airplane, boat, or truck. Manufacturing processes use up raw materials and create pollution. Think about this every time you want to buy something, and ask yourself how badly you need it. • Take fewer photographs Ever wonder what happens to the chemicals they use to develop your film? I do. Why don't you ask the people who do it for you? • Cut down petroleum usage Petroleum is shipped around the world in boats. Every once in a while, these boats crash, and spill tons of oil into the sea. If you used less, they'd ship less.
