The Us consumes more oil than any other country , oil consumption can have a devastating effect on the water environment, it spreads over the surface in a thin layer that stops oxygen getting to the plants and animals that live in the water  it  harms the  animals and insects and prevents photosynthesis in plants it even disrupts the food chain, Another dangerous thing about oil consumption is its oil spills  They are result of accidents at  ships, trains,  trucks and etc. that move oil from wells to refineries.

To learn more about oil spills caused by oil consumption watch a video by Life Noggin.

Consuming large amounts of water can decrease availability in the future. Also it takes about 33 billion liters (32-54 barrels) of oil to filter and clean the water so that it's drinkable for humans. Reducing our water consumption will reduces the amount of oil and energy it takes to clean it, filter it, and deliver it to homes, businesses, farms, and communities, which can also help lessen pollution and save our resources. Also water is being consumed at high rates you should use less water during the day We use water to drink, to do the dishes, to take a shower, to flush the toilet, to cook diner and for many other purposes.
I recommended using less water everyday activities. For example, use the dish washer, take shorter showers, turn off the water when you brush your teeth and more.
This is a water treatment plant:

It's important to turn of the lights because if you do help reduce carbon emission and other harmful greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases cause air pollution and people with asthma might have a hard time breathing even people without might die through harmful air chemicals. There are also people out there that have to pay bill for electricity the more you use it the higher the bills go. That is why it’s important not to over use it. Some of us might be overusing energy and not even noticing. Conserving energy helps make our earth and our environment a better place! 🌍🍃😁

This video will bring awareness to you about how you might have been over using energy

The quantity and quality of food consumed, whether people "graze" or eat discrete meals, the emphasis given to different foods (or to desirable body shapes related to diet), and the customs surrounding eating have varied throughout history and within cultures. The effective management of food intake and nutrition are both key to good health. Smart nutrition and food choices can help prevent disease. Eating the right foods can help your body cope more successfully with an ongoing illness.

Overproduction and overconsumption add to the already-high levels of pollution and toxic gases that contribute to global warming.
The impacts of overconsumption include: Health risks, increased incidence of overweight and obesity, associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, certain cancers and type II diabetes.

Fuel consumption is the inverse of fuel economy. It is the amount of fuel consumed in driving a given distance. It is measured in the United States in gallons per 100 miles, and in liters per 100 kilometers in Europe and elsewhere throughout the world. Gasoline use contributes to air pollution. The vapors give off when gasoline evaporates and the substances produced when gasoline is burned. This bad habit is threefold – driving too fast, accelerating too quickly, and stopping too suddenly. All three of these actions lead to high fuel consumption. Where possible, you should accelerate slowly and drive at the speed of traffic. Fuel consumption is the amount of fuel used per unit.  High consumption may lead to, Faulty engine. Poor engine oil. Poor quality fuels. Air conditioning. Worn-out tires also poor maintenance and short distance. Worn out the clutch and warming the car in the morning.

Many people are constantly throwing their plastic everywhere with no concerns about the environment which is like... bad since when people throw plastic it goes to landfill incinerators, and those landfill incinerators create smoke, and that smoke causes air pollution, and then that air pollution causes climate change, and then climate change leads to poor air quality and that is bad for us humans, and other times the plastic in landfills are just sitting there waiting for their impending doom in the incinerator rain starts to arise in this junk filled of plastic and absorbs the chemical waste in the plastic which creates a really toxic chemical most of the time and goes to groundwater

(Groundwater is the water we use to drink) and then goes to streams which leads to oceans and goes to many other LARGE garbage patches in the oceans which makes a worse problem for ocean life too, and we eat that ocean life with the plastic in it which gets tiny sand pieces of plastic in us which is unhealthy for us even more. So we should unite and stop this ongoing problem by doing the simple things like picking up your trash and you could volunteer for community cleaning or remind someone they dropped their stuff, the simple things.
