    (a) Reducing air pollution by keeping vehicles in good condition or changing to non-fuel driven vehicles and quit smoking.
    (b) Reducing noise pollution by ensuring that noise levels are low for example, discouraging needless honking.
    (c) Managing disposal of garbage sensibly, for examples, by encouraging separation of bio-degradable waste from non-bio-degradable waste.
    (d) Planting trees and ensuring their care, keeping in mind that those plants and trees should not be planted that can have adverse health effects.
    (e) Saying ?no? to plastics in any form, thus reducing toxic wastes that pollute water, air and the soil.
    (f) Reducing the non-biodegradable packaging of consumer goods.
    (g) Laws related to construction (especially in urban areas) that violate optimal environmental design.
    Or
    The following are the strategies for reducing aggression and violence:
    (a) Parents and teachers should be careful not to encourage or reward aggression in any form.
    (b) Opportunities to observe and imitate the behaviour of aggressive models should be reduced drastically. Portraying aggression as heroic behaviour should be particularly avoided, because this may set the stage for learning through observation.
    (c) Poverty and social injustice may be a prominent cause of aggression, because they can cause frustration in certain sections of society. Implementing social justice and equality in society may help in reducing frustration levels and thereby curb aggressive tendencies atleast to some extent.
