Doing Something About Pollution

As one person among millions, how can I effectively help to eliminate pollution? I have often wondered.

When I became deeply concerned with this question, I found a practical answer in something Mrs. Eddy says in her Miscellaneous Writings: "Let no clouds of sin gather and fall in mist and showers from thine own mental atmosphere." Mis., p. 355;

I saw that in order to help solve the problem I had to begin with my own mental atmosphere. It occurred to me that the destruction of pollution, like the abolishment of war, must begin in individual consciousness, for cities, governments, and industries are composed of individuals. When people talk of peace, they usually agree that it must be established in men's hearts before it can prevail nationally or internationally. Environmental purity requires of us similar commitment.
