Answer
A
Carpool to work.
B
Landscape with native plants.
C
Use toxic household cleaning products.
D
Reduce waste in landfills by recycling.
E
Turn off lights when they are not in use.
F
Have cars routinely maintained.
G
Overwater lawns and gardens.

Explanation

Carpooling and maintaining cars can reduce vehicle emissions, while turning off unused lights lowers energy use and the pollution from producing that energy. Recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, and native plants often need less water and fewer chemical treatments. Toxic cleaners can pollute air or water, and overwatering can waste water and carry pollutants into waterways, so those do not help reduce pollution.
