Hello, viewers. Welcome to our top story tonight: water pollution. According to a survey conducted in over 20 countries, the most serious type of pollution in the world is now water pollution. Water pollution is a major cause of death worldwide, and at present, around 500 million people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. So how can you help? There are many ways to help prevent it. One way, is to reduce water use. We can do this by taking shorter showers. Second, throw away dangerous chemicals properly. That means do not put paint or car oil in the trash. Third, only buy from companies that have good environmental records. If polluting companies can’t make money, they will have to change their ways.
