What Are You Doing To Reduce Pollution, Improve Air Quality?

• • Don’t idle—Shutting off your car while you wait. If you’re waiting to pick your kids or friends up likely others are too—and nobody wants to walk through all that polluting exhaust that then travels miles and miles into our air.
  • Carpool—It’s a good way to reconnect with friends and co-workers and has the added benefit of helping to reduce cold starts.
  • Skip the Trip—Opt to make dinner at home rather than going out or bring your lunch to work.
  • Telework—Use those extra 30 or 40 minutes you’d be in your car and put them toward catching up on your inbox or spend them with your family.
  • Bike or walk—It will help get those steps or extra cardio in
  • Take public transit—One day a week rather than driving will save you money on gas and help improve our air.

UCAIR has a lot of suggestions on how we can also shop green when it comes to household appliances all the way to the products we buy everyday.
