Decrease carbon dioxide emission by 1,000 pounds. |
More actions you can take:
- Inflate car tires to the manufacturer’s recommended levels.
- Walk or ride a bicycle for short trips in your neighborhood.
- Do not warm up your car--idling releases emissions. Automatic transmissions do not need to be warmed.
- Use an electric or push lawn mower.
- Purchase low odor paints. These reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or fumes in your home.
- Refuel when it’s cool. Refuel during the evenings or early in the morning when the air is cool.
- Join the KAIRE clean-air Network.
- Stop at the “click.” Topping off your tank releases gas fumes into the air and cancels the benefits of the pump’s anti-pollution devices.
- Use a gas or electric grill instead of charcoal. Lighter fluid is harmful to the air. Maintain your propane tanks according to specifications.
