Reducing Car Pollution
Think about the types of trips that you and your family take in cars, and avoid driving when it is unnecessary.
Think about walking or riding your bike when you are taking very short trips and don't have to carry much luggage. And think about how much fitter and healthier you will be!
What about car pooling? Often there are people in the same area as you and your family who travel in the same direction at about the same time of day. Also, think before you drive. Plan trips so they are multi-purpose, for example pick up all the shopping and in the same trip visit the bank and library! This is also much more time-efficient for the busy person.
How about public transport! Travelling on trams, buses and trains is a quick and relaxing way to reach our destination. It gives us time to read books and catch up with friends who might also be travelling the same way!
Just remember, for every kilometre you and your family don't drive the air is made a little healthier for you to breathe.
So exactly how often do you and your family use cars? Is there any way to change car use to reduce pollutants being pumped into our air?
