Daniel: Yes, we should ride our bikes to school so we can reduce air pollution.

Amy: We should reuse plastic bottles so we can reduce land pollution.
Daniel: OK, reuse plastic bottles.
Amy: What else?

Amy: Good idea! Anything else?
Daniel: We should save electricity, and we shouldn't waste water.
