The Nature Challenge Newsletter: Smog

Practice safe energy

Stop smog. See how many of these items you can do in the coming month:

Try carpooling to work with a colleague for a week.
Use public transit to get to a regular destination for a week.
If purchasing or renting a car, choose one that’s fuel-efficient and has low emissions. (You'll also save money at the gas pump.)
Instead of using the air conditioner, leave windows open at night to let cool air in and close them during the day to keep heat out.
This month, replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents which use a fifth of the energy.
Use a clothesline instead of a dryer to save energy this month.
