Simple Things You Can Do Right Now To Support Clean Air
Change your driving habits: Carpooling, working from home, and keeping your car tuned up are things that you can Do Now to decrease the amount of gasoline that you use and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) you pump into air. Also, please don’t idle your car. I found a great article about Idling Myths and Facts. Check it out.
Recycle and Buy Recycled Products: It is estimated that 70% of Americans recycle. I was shocked to see the percentage that high. You would be surprised at how many people don’t recycle. I personally know a lot of families that don’t. Recycled products help to save more energy and pollution (than you would if you created those products from virgin materials). Get your kids involved with the recycling? Our 9 year old and 5 year old are in charge of recycling in our home. They are like the recycle police; they are always issuing warnings if I am about to throw away a recyclable material.
Educate Yourself:
- Did you know that companies and lobbyists are trying to gut the Clean Air Act? Basically they don’t want any regulations on their ability to pollute our air.
