Eco News & Site UpdatesGreen Tips of the Day
Avoid "jack rabbit" starts and aggressive driving
Flooring the gas pedal not
only wastes gas, it leads to drastically higher pollution
rates. One second of high-powered driving can produce
nearly the same volume of carbon monoxide emissions
as a half hour of normal driving.
Act locally
Buy local building products when available, and ask retailers to expand the offerings of regional goods.
