I'm doing a small essay on water pollution (like nuclear radiation accidents, trash, etc.). I just need one final question answered to finish this but I need some help.

Question

"Discuss steps that can be taken by individuals, businesses, and/or governments to reduce this threat."

I'm not asking you to write it for me, but if I could get some ideas to write it that would be amazing.
A bajillion times thank you in advance!!
