You can help by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide you put into the air.]]> 2017-04-11 20:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165979994 Ways to reduce your "Carbon Footprint" 17j_hook https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165980350 1. You can walk, ride a bike, or even carpool 
2. Drive a low carbon emissions car
3. Avoid traffic, when you sit in traffic you're emitting more Co2 (carbon dioxide)
4. For those who drive, inflate your tires and get tune ups regularly.
5. Turn lights off when your not using them
6. Eat locally grown foods, the more local you eat the less that has to be shipped over.]]> 2017-04-11 20:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165980350 17j_hook https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165980517 2017-04-11 20:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165980517 17j_hook https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165980942 2017-04-11 20:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165980942 citations 17j_hook https://padlet.com/17j_hook/us7u5t7k62gv/wish/165982478 Essick, P.
