How is the government reducing pollution?

Answer 1

1. When possible, walk, bike, carpool or use mass transit.
2. Avoid driving on high ozone days and during peak traffic.
3. Don't fill your gas tank on high ozone days, and try to refuel after dark. Also, don't overfill or "top-off" your gas tank, as fumes can escape.
4. Make your voice heard concerning mass transit and highway development. Get involved in local transportation planning boards or agencies to steer land use toward smart growth choices.

1. Conserve energy to reduce the demand for power plants to produce more electricity by insulating your walls and ceilings, choosing energy-efficient home appliances, and using energy-efficient compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
2. Run your washer, drier or dishwasher only when full.
3. Use a fan and open windows instead of air conditioning in warm weather.
4. Plant trees near your home to provide cooling shade.
5. Avoid using gas-powered lawn mowers or other gardening equipment, especially on high ozone days. Instead, use electric mowers.
6. Many utilities offer "green" energy options for their customers. As an electricity consumer, research and choose "green" energy options for your home. Contact your utility for details, or click here to learn more about green energy options.
