We think that we can reduce the shopping in a month, a example is if you buy clothes 7 times at moth, you can reduce and only buy 2 or 3 times.

We can investigate about brands that are sustainable with the environment, an example can be H&M, there you can wear garments of any brand that you no longer use, these will be classified into 3 such as reusing, recycling and reusing.

Don´t give a lot of clothes to people because they don't know what to do with so many clothes

A perfect way to reduce the textile indsutry, can be reusing the clothes that we already have , creating new ones , with the oldest, or that the smallest ones.this will allow us to renew our wardore with creative stuff.

Other ways to help , can be the used by Parley for de Oceans and Adidas, This two companies used 28 plastic bottles to make a T-shirt to the Real Madrid.If we use this idea in the entire word , we can reduce the pollution of plastic as well

My recommendation is to buy high quality products as they are much more durable. Buy our clothes from organizations that are conscious of water pollution and try to reduce the waste caused by the textile industry.

My recommendation would be that we can reduce the purchase of clothes because less is more because every time we buy a new garment we discard another and this is a problem because sometimes we buy without having any need and a solution would be to buy clothes from sustainable materials.

-Buy better quality.
In order to have clothes that last so much more time you should buy the ones that have good materials so you will not have the necessity to get more.
-Take care of your clothes.
It's important to follow the instructions that the clothes have, for example some of them are "hand wash only", this is another way to make it last longer.

Fast fashion has become a challenge and one of the most important factors that pollute our planet. Garment quality is declining every year, due to this, clothes inmediatly look faded, shapeless, or worn out, and people who bought these clothes do not want to use them anymore and they throw them away or send them to recycle or donation centers. When it hapens to us we should think twice before throwing these clothes, we can try to repair them or sell them directly to second-hand shop or donate them to people you know they need, because organizations who collect clothes to "donate" often do more harm than good.

An action we can do to reduce our Fashion Enviromental impact is buy less and buy clothes from sustainable brands. You can buy basic and high-quality clothes that can adapt to new trends.

Here are some recommendations to try to reduce the high contamination caused by textiles
-Clothes can be used to create other garments, thus recycling the donated clothes.
-You can also donate the clothes to people in need.
-Try to repair the clothes.
-For example, you can reuse an old shirt as a rag.
-Try not to buy too many clothes, only buy what is necessary.

One way to reduce the use of fertilizers would be to apply the correct rate to the crops, because in some places they put more than is adequate for faster and more effective progress. Another way could be to apply the product at the right time, since some farmers believe that by applying it many times, the plant will have better progress. And finally, an alternative that could replace the use of fertilizers and thus reduce them, would be biofertilizers, since they have the same function, but at the same time they are good for the environment.

The excessive use they give to fertilizers contributes to the deterioration and contamination of groundwater that later joins and reaches the oceans, surface waters are also affected and can cause deterioration of the soil and microfauna.

One way to avoid using a lot of fertilizer is to use it sparingly and proportionately, since many people do not know how much to use and spend more.

Applying fertilizers in the proper amount, at the right time of year and with the right method can significantly reduce how much fertilizer reaches water bodies.

Keeping animals and their waste out of streams keeps nitrogen and phosphorus out of the water and protects stream banks.

some animal wastes serve as natural fertilizers these come from cows, horses and chickens. Thus avoiding polluting fertilizers for the environment.

Tiago y Joseph

A way to reduce agriculture pollution could be lowering prices of natural fertilize so people can stop buying so much artificial fertilizers.

Do not buy artificial fertilizer because is bad for the planet.

A place that uses lots of fertilizers is in Asia and this is very bad for environment because most of these fertilizers are artificial and not natural.

There are two types of fertilizers, organic and chemical, which have a lot of impact on the environment, some ways to reduce them would be to adjust the tillage intensity of a field and improve manure management.

The largest consumers of fertilizers in 2019 were China in the first place, India in the second place, the United States in the third place and Brazil in the fourth place. In million metric tons of nutrients, China consumed 45.4, India 29.37, United States 20.36 and Brazil 15.88.

1. Awareness of farmers

We think that in order to reduce the use of fertilizers it's important to make the farmers know the negative impact that their actions have with the environment.
2. Government Regulations
Another way to avoid the excessive use of fertilizers is through the government because they are more influential in the society, so they will let people know about the responsible use of them.

The best way to generate a considerable amount of food with fertilizers, can be using some cheap and affordable fertilizers such as plants that are sown and cultivated expressly to turn them and incorporate them into the soil as nutrient material, these types of plants are alfalfa, comfrey or clover.if the world encourages the use of these materials, it can make a difference.

Here are some things you can do to help reduce pollution from agriculture.
-Use natural and homemade fertilizers: there are many recipes to create fertilizers that do not harm food and therefore do not harm you, it is a much more sustainable way to continue doing your work without problems because insecticides fertilizers, in general agriculture, are who emit 10% of greenhouse gas something that hurts us a lot.
As a good fertilizer example, the biofertilizer makes the plant organically strengthen its metabolism, apart from this, when the plant is strengthened, the bugs that could damage it do not do anything to it, unlike the other fertilizers that only damage the plant.

An idea would be that people who recycle the bag they buy (that is, when you buy a bag, use the same one when you return) and if they take the same bag to the store for 10 days, give them a product for free of not very high cost

For each renewable bag we will pay you 100 million dolars and for each renewable thin 100 million dolars more.

A sollution we could do to reduce the pollution that food retail does is use reusable shopping bags or recycle a plastic bag that you bought before.

In adition, the owners of supermarkets can reduce the diversity of sizes, colors or shapes of the same product to avoid waste of food that is not eye-catching for customers.

Abigail & Valentino

2022-08-25 15:24:25 UTC

Avoid the use and purchase of plastic when we go to supermarkets, i.e., use reusable bags for shopping and avoid consuming food or products that bring a large amount of plastic, this practice will prevent environmental pollution and we will have more sustainable practices.

Luciana

2022-08-25 15:29:03 UTC

A solution to the pollution caused by food retailing could be to use cloth bags every time we go shopping and to campaign for supermarkets to stop selling plastic bags and to avoid buying products containing plastic.

Sumaya & Megumi

2022-08-25 15:29:03 UTC

-When you go to make your purchase, bring reusable bags.
-Buy measuredly, do not buy things that you will later have in excess and end up discarding.

Tiana & Samira

2022-08-25 15:30:36 UTC

To reduce this problem, stores should sell cloth bags as well as raise the price of plastic bags which will cause people to see it as more viable to use their bags or cloth bags.

-Give back to the community

When products are not sold, they are usually thrown away, so a good way to take advantage of it is to give it to people who really need it.
