Help Clear the Air!
-
If you drive to school, try carpooling or take public transportation. Get your parents' permission to try walking, biking, or skating. You can prevent wasted fuel, reduce air pollution, and decrease traffic in your community.
-
Shred untreated wood and leaf wastes into chips and use them as mulch on garden beds to prevent weed growth, retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and add nutrients back to the soil.
-
Keep your lawn mower and other equipment in efficient operating condition by performing regular maintenance according to the owner's manual. Remember not to use your gas mower before 6 p.m. on Code Orange days.
-
To help save landfill space, donate reusable old cabinets, doors, plumbing fixtures, and hardware to a local charity or building materials reuse center.
