what are 3 things that the city government and 3 things the federal government can do to protect our envior?

for example, one thing the city government can do to protect our natural enviornment would be recycling and federal would be clean air act. if u only know 1 or 2 then thats fine.

City:
1. Educate the public on conservation issues, water & wastewater treatment issues, etc.
2. Adopt a recycling program to encourage customers to bag recycleables separately. This will reduce wastes in landfills and save raw materials.
3. Use advanced wastewater treatment technologies to provide a cleaner effluent being discharged to receiving streams.

Federal:
1. Enforce the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Clean Air Act.
2. Provide funding to State programs to provide technical assistance and training for these programs.
3. Require farmers to use vegetative buffer strips to prevent runoff of nutrients to receiving streams and control soil erosion.
