Take Action All Summer Long
Drive less. Try walking, biking, carpooling, or riding the bus. If you leave your car at home one day a week, you could prevent 55 pounds of pollution each year from being emitted into our air. And think of the money you'll save on gas, parking and car upkeep.
Avoid long idle times. Avoid idle times longer than 30 seconds by turning off your car when you're not in traffic.
Bring your lunch to work. "Brown-bag-it" or walk to lunch.
Trip chain. Combine errands into one trip to minimize "cold starts".
Refuel in the evening and don't top off the tank.
Do your garden chores gasoline-free. Avoid gas-powered yard tools until evening - or switch to electric-powered tools.
