How can we keep our water sources clean?

We can keep our water clean by not throwing trash in rivers, lakes, or oceans. Always use the trash can for waste and recycle when you can. It is also important to not let dirty water from homes go into streams without cleaning it first. Plants by the water can help keep it clean too!

Example: If everyone puts their plastic bottles in the trash, the water stays clean for fish and other animals.

Fun Fact: Clean water helps all living things, like plants, animals, and people, to stay healthy and happy!
