| Here are a number
of ways to reduce greenhouse emissions and still
get around town:
|
| |
|
 |
|
Hike,
bike, roller-blade, skateboard, cartwheel, walk backwards…be inventive
and active about how you get from one place to another and reduce your
car use! |
| |
 |
|
Remember:
car-pooling and busing always uses less energy than driving alone!
And these activities give you some extra time with your friends
and family too! |
| |
|
 |
|
Remind
your parents to NOT
let their car’s engine idle. Idling
is when the car’s engine is on, but the car is just sitting there going
nowhere!! Idling adds lots
and lots of greenhouse gases! And wastes lots of money too! |
| |
|
 |
|
Get
your family to organize all their errands into one trip! You’ll save
energy and, by getting everything done at once, you’ll have more time
for fun stuff! Yahoooey!! |
| |
|
|
 |
|
A
well-tuned car and fully inflated tires will help burn less fuel and
money! |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Air
conditioning in a car burns extra gas, causes extra pollution and wastes
money. In town, rolling down the windows can cool you off nicely.
On the highway, try opening the air vents because rolling down
the windows will make your car less aerodynamic (say that ten times
fast!), and will waste more
fuel. |
