Water
Water pollution can hurt our ability to use water in our homes, for recreation, and in commerce. It also harms other forms of life. We work to protect water in all its forms: on the ground, underground, and coming out of the tap.

Air
Air pollution comes from different sources and has many harmful effects, including hurting our health and the health of other living things. Although national air quality has improved over the last 20 years, many challenges remain. Our goal? Clean air to breathe for this generation and those to follow.

Climate
The Earth's climate has changed many times during the planet's history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth. Natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth's orbit, and varying energy from the Sun have affected the Earth's climate. Beginning late in the 18th century, human activities associated with the Industrial Revolution have also changed the composition of the atmosphere and therefore very likely are influencing the Earth's climate.

Wastes and Pollution
Although we can do a lot to clean up pollution after it's in the environment, preventing pollution in the first place is even better. We can do that by changing how we manufacture as well as how we behave: reduce how much you use, reuse what's left when you're done, and recycle what you can't reuse.
