Eco Tip # 18 DEATH BY SIX PACK
Always cut up six pack holders. If they get into the water supply , they will strangle birds and get tangled up in them. They can also get stuck on dolphins' noses condemning them to a slow death by starvation.
Eco Tip # 17 REUSING BAGS
Try to remember to take bags with you whenever shopping. Many supermarkets offer durable bags for life which last considerably longer than the usual bag
Eco Tip # 16 RAINFOREST BURGER
Only one tenth of the food that animals eat is converted into meat. Some fast food restaurants have a reputation for using rainforest beef, and each individual burger farmed this way causes deforestation of an area the size of a kitchen
Eco-Tip # 16 EMISSIONS
Reducing engine idling will improve our air quality, reduce our carbon footprint, protect our health and save money.
1. Vehicle emissions are the leading source of toxic air pollution in New Jersey .Burning gasoline and diesel in our cars and trucks releases:
• particulate matter,
• dirt,
• nitrous oxides,
• hydrocarbons such as formaldehyde and benzene, and
• carbon monoxide.
2 Vehicle emissions are a major source of carbon dioxide contributing to global warming. About of third of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States come from vehicle emissions.
3 Vehicle exhaust is hazardous to human health, especially children’s. Studies have linked air pollution to increased rates of cancer, heart and lung disease, asthma and allergies.
4 Idling is unnecessary. Fuel injection engines do not need to be warmed up for more than 30 seconds except on extremely cold days (below 0◦ F).
5 Idling is hard on your engine.4 An idling engine does not run at peak efficiency, which results in incomplete combustion of fuel, residue on spark plugs and dirty engine oil.
6 Idling is expensive.2
• An average car burns close to a gallon of gas for every hour spent idling.
• All vehicles get zero miles per gallon while idling.
In general, 10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than restarting the car.
