What are some solutions to help with pollution?
There are many solutions that can aid in reducing or managing pollution dependent on the pollution type and the resources of those "helping" with pollution.
Solutions that reduce or manage pollution depend on the pollutant itself and the resources of those "helping" with pollution. We have created countless pollutants that harm ourselves and the planet.
The effects of other types of pollution, like noise, thermal, and light pollution, should not be disregarded. The following lists some examples of large-scale solutions for the main types of pollution; small-scale solutions, like carpooling, buying locally, using reusable bags, shopping at thrift stores, and so on, also help.
Air pollution: China is investing in renewable energy to lessen the amount of pollution (see here).
In order to enhance air quality and protect residential areas from pollution sources, the city of Detroit, Michigan, is expanding its green spaces (see here).
Pollution is countered by air purification systems, and a new soy-based filter was developed recently to capture formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and other harmful chemicals (see here).
It appears that many American businesses treat air pollution as someone else's problem, situating their factories and power plants to allow pollutants to flow into neighboring states whenever feasible (see here).
Water pollution: To lessen the quantity of microplastic in the seas and rivers, products containing plastic microbeads may not be sold in many nations, including the US (see here).
A distance between fertilizer application and groundwater sources, requirements for soil testing, restrictions on when fertilizers can be applied, and penalties for breaking the law are some of the ways that laws and regulations reduce the amount of agricultural pollution (nitrogen and phosphorus) that enters waterways (see here).
A nineteen year old developed technology that cleans plastic from the ocean (see here).
Land pollution : As mentioned under water pollution, regulations on agricultural fertilizers, pesticides, and other problematic chemicals that protect waterways also reduce the amount of these chemicals leaching into and thus polluting soil.
London's Olympic Park was treated for soil pollution using bioremediation, where microbes biodegraded chemicals naturally (see here).
Recycling waste is a relatively well-known method of reducing pollution but it is still effective, systems have not been implemented everywhere, and certain items (batteries, electronics) can still be difficult to recycle. Rwanda recently announced it is opening an E-waste recycling company (see here).
Proper waste management facilities also reduce waste and pollution. For example, a proper garbage facility transformed this town in the Philippines (see here).
In some instances, it may be possible and logical to reduce the amount of pollution. For example, a city can place a ban on using dangerous insecticides and herbicides within a certain distance from riverine areas and wetlands, forcing consumers to choose other, presumably more environmentally friendly options. This would reduce the amount of dangerous chemicals being used on lawns, crops, gardens, etc which would then reduce the amount of these environmentally harmful chemicals polluting rivers, lakes, swamps, and so forth.
In other instances, reducing the amount of pollution may not be possible with current technology or funding and managing pollution may be the goal. For example, a community may want to reduce the amount of plastic that washes up on their beach, but that community doesn't control international shipping regulations and waste management laws in other countries. Organizing regular beach cleanups where materials are collected, sorted, and recycled may be a more feasible option.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
