Maintaining Your Car
Your mom always told you to take good care of your stuff. She was right, as usual. Regular maintenance keeps your car running smoothly and reduces harmful emissions to the air.
A poorly-maintained or malfunctioning car can release as much as 100 times the pollution of a well-maintained car. Keeping your car in top running condition saves money and means less traffic congestion due to breakdowns. Plus, keeping tires properly inflated can increase gas mileage.
You see, a well-maintained car releases a fraction of what a poorly-maintained or malfunctioning car emits. And, because vehicles on the road account for more than 25% of all air pollution nationwide, a little maintenance could go a long way to cleaner air.
