You probably already know that dryers use a lot of #energy, but did you know they can release microplastics into the air?๐Ÿคข To reduce #AirPollution and extend the life of your clothes, air dry your laundryโ€”especially polyester fabrics.๐Ÿงบ

#DYK the average person uses 116 gallons of water washing a car at home?๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’ง Commercial car washes use ~60% less water, which is not only great for conservation purposes, but also reduces #emissions. Plus, driving through a car wash is a lot easier!๐Ÿซง๐Ÿš™

When you're kind to your car, it will be kind to you (and our #AirQuality). Hard acceleration and braking can reduce gas mileage by up to 33%!๐Ÿš˜ By taking it easy, you'll improve #FuelEfficiency and reduce #emissions, helping to support #CleanAir.

Is your lawn growing poorly? Fall is a great time to switch from turf grass to a low-maintenance lawn alternative, like drought-tolerant ground cover.๐ŸŒฑ Low-impact landscaping needs less water and chemical interventions, which supports #CleanAir.๐Ÿ’š ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

One of the easiest ways to improve #AirQuality is to leave your car at home. #CarFreeDay on 9/22 is a chance to do just that. If you ditch your car for a physical commuteโ€”like walking or bikingโ€”you'll save gas, reduce #emissions & improve your wellbeing.๐Ÿ‘

We're forecasting good ๐Ÿ’š #AirQuality throughout the #DC-#Bmore region all weekend long - it's a great time to get out in the garden. ๐Ÿชด Many native plants thrive when planted in fall, & they reduce air pollution while requiring less fertilizer, pesticides, & water.

Got a plan for your pumpkins after #Halloween?๐ŸŽƒ 1.3B lbs of pumpkins go to landfills annually, releasing #methane as they rot. To reduce #AirPollution, compost or donate unpainted pumpkins to a zoo or farm instead! The animalsโ€”and your lungsโ€”will be grateful.
