THE JULY 2008 MOW DOWN AIR POLLUTION CONTEST HAS ENDED. EVEN THOUGH THE CONTEST IS OVER, YOU CAN STILL HELP KEEP OUR AIR CLEAN WHEN WORKING IN THE YARD THIS SUMMER AND FALL:
Hold off using gas-powered yard equipment until evening.
Consider electric or manual-powered yard and garden tools when it's time to replace your gas-powered equipment.
Use a gas can that is easy to handle and use a funnel spout with a stop device to prevent overfilling.
Store gasoline in a tightly-closed container, in a cool, dark place. Keep at ground level to reduce the risk of falling and spilling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you know that emissions from gas-powered yard and garden equipment contributes to the creation of ground-level ozone—a hazardous air pollutant. Ozone affects air quality in the summer. There are a variety of ways you can help reduce air pollution this summer. One way is by switching to electric or manual-powered tools where feasible.
