Promoting pro-environment behaviour among people:
- Reducing air pollution by keeping vehicles in good condition, changing to non-fuel-driven vehicles, or stopping the practice of smoking.
- Reducing noise pollution by ensuring that noise levels are low, for example, by discouraging needless honking on the road or making rules regarding noisy music at certain hours.
- Managing the disposal of garbage sensibly, for example, by encouraging the separation of biodegradable garbage from nonbiodegradable waste or composting kitchen waste.
- Planting trees and ensuring their care, keeping in mind that those plants and trees should not be planted that have adverse health effects.
- Saying ‘no’ to plastics in any form, thus reducing toxic wastes that pollute water, air and the soil.
- Reducing the non-biodegradable packaging of consumer goods.
- Laws related to construction (especially in urban areas) that violate optimal environmental design.
