Found a great website that explains how to treat the environment a little more gently as we are doing common things like filling up our vehicles gas tank.
For example, did you know that :
It actually helps the ozone layer to refuel your car at night! Why? Read and learn....
Gas up at night. Putting gas into your vehicle releases Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. Throughout the day, these VOCs mix with oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the air, "cook" in the summer heat, and form ground-level ozone. Refueling in the evening decreases the opportunity for VOCs to form into ozone. Evaporative emissions from morning gasoline fillups contribute to air pollution, particularly during the summertime. Wait 3 seconds after refueling before removing the nozzle and never top off the tank because any fuel that drips outside of your tank adds to ozone formation.
Want to learn more neat stuff like that? Check out "Clean Air Advice on the Move"
from the 'get square' website. Neat-o!
