This #AirQualityAwarenessWeek, we will be sharing actions you can take to keep the air we breathe clean and stay safe during poor air quality days. Make sure to check the air quality forecast and sign up for alerts here: https://lnkd.in/gEM9c2E. Here are some tips to improve our air quality: -Save money and the environment by taking alternative modes of transportation, like public or active transportation. -Active transportation, like walking, jogging ,and biking, benefits the air, your health, and your wallet. -Carpooling, using transit, walking, or biking one day a week for a year can save the average commuter 1,200 miles on their vehicle and approximately $567 in driving costs. -Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure. Keeping your tires properly inflated improves gas mileage and helps to ensure your steering system and brakes are working well. -Change your oil. Changing your oil keeps your engine lubricated, improves gas mileage, and reduces wear and tear on your engine. -Get that “Check Engine Light” serviced. When the light comes on, it means that there is something wrong with the emissions controls on your vehicle. This condition could mean your car is polluting the air and may impact your gas mileage. -Stop at the click. Stop fueling when the gas pump clicks. After the click, fumes evaporate into the air, wasting gas, money, and polluting the air. -Limit your idling. Turn your car off when you are not driving for more than 30 seconds. It wastes fuel and pollutes the air. For more tips, visit our website at: https://lnkd.in/gbGjArGu #AirQualityAwarenessWeek #AQAW2024 #AirQuality #AsthmaAwarenessMonth #WorldAsthmaDay

Short answer: no. Air conditioners recycle indoor air, not bring in outdoor air. This is good news because it means that your AC can help to keep your indoor air clean, even when the outdoor air quality is poor. #AC #AirConditioner #Air #CleanAir #Cleaning

In May 2023 a short haul flight ban in France requires hops of less than 150 minutes to be replaced by suitable rail travel to reduce regional emissions. Electrifying flight can get those short hops back and reduce traffic. The US needs better rail service. https://lnkd.in/eVbQ55aE

Cruise control may be convenient, but it's not always the most #efficient. According to Clean Air Partners, you can save fuel and reduce #emissions by using cruise control on flat, congestion-free roads rather than on hills or in traffic.🚗💨

A very interesting video reporting the impact of cruiseships: i.e.one cruiseshipe produces 4 times more CO2 per passenger than flights and how one cruiseships emits as much particular matter as 1 million cars every day. All of the above could be avoided by applying NPE Technology. www.newpowerenergy.com #pollution #sox #co2 #shipping #marineindustry https://lnkd.in/gyrCv5w6
