We’ve all heard that our vehicles are among the biggest contributors to air pollution, but did you know that they are responsible for at least one-third of all smog? The experts estimate the average vehicle pollutes two to four times its weight in emissions every year. For example, if you have a 5,000 pound car, it emits 10,000-20,000 pounds of pollution every year (depending on how much gas you consume). So, what can we do? Once again, David McGrath, author of 25 Ways to Raise a Healthy Family and Planet – The Ultimate Guide to Green Living, gives us some practical ideas on how to reduce our gasoline consumption in this week’s informative article.

We’d like to encourage you to sign up for the Billion Bag, Bottle and Bulb Challenge to help Reduce the Use! of one-use plastic items.

Have a great green week!
