Drive Wise

在美国，交通运输消耗了大约25%的总能量。行驶过程中向大气中释放了有害化合物和其他空气污染物。无论你何时、何地、为何、如何行驶了多少路程，都会大大地影响到大气污染。当你想要做得更加有利于环境，下面是一些建议。

Transportation consumes about 25 percent of the total energy used in the United States. Driving releases harmful chemicals and other air pollutants into the air. When, where, how, why and what you drive all play an important role in affecting air pollution. Here are some suggestions on how to be more environmentally friendly when you need to get somewhere.

• 少开车，特别在交通高峰或炎热天气时。
• Drive less, especially during peak traffic periods or hot days.
• 利用公共交通、步行或骑自行车。
• Use public transportation, walk, or ride a bike.

• Shop by phone, mail or Internet.
• 在家办公。即使每周一天也会大不相同。
• Telecommute. Even one day a week will make a big difference.
• 一次出车办多件事 。
• Combine your errands into one trip.
• 合伙使用汽车。合伙行驶降低污染物。
• Carpool. Sharing rides reduces emissions.
• 避免发动机高转速或怠速超过30秒。
• Avoid revving or idling engine over 30 seconds.
