A) Simple changes can lead to big improvements for the environment.

Explanation:

  • The paragraph describes a number of measures described positively that are each quite simple in their nature. This makes A) look like a possibility.

  • Reuse of items is described as a helpful activity. So B) can be discounted.

  • It includes the words "A great way to help the environment", suggesting that such measures have a substantial effect. This strengthens the case for A) and makes C) seem unlikely.

  • "Water pollution" is not mentioned, so no comparison is made between air and water pollution. So D) seems unlikely.

Simple changes can lead to big improvements for the environment.

Explanation:

The author makes the point that reusing actually helps the environment so option B is not true.
The paragraph doesn't talk about one person so option C is struck out as well.
There is no mention of comparison between air pollution and water pollution so Option D is false.
This reaches to the conclusion that option A is correct.

Hope this helps :)
