Cycling, rather than travelling
by car, can help reduce air pollution. It’s also
great fun and can make you feel better.
When you, or your family, need to go on a journey consider
walking or cycling. Leaving the car at home can really
help Care4Air. |

Walking to school, rather
than travelling in individual cars, can help improve
air quality. Walking can also improve your health and
make you feel better, as well as being really good fun! |

There are several ways of
helping to Care4Air around the home, like switching
off lights and only boiling the amount of water you
need when making hot drinks.
These simple ways of saving energy, can help reduce
air pollution, and Care4Air.

Using public transport can
help reduce air pollution, because it reduces the number
of vehicles on the road.
Try to use buses, trams and trains wherever possible,
and do your bit to Care4Air.

Cars can cause air pollution because they release harmful
gases into the environment. Most people use their cars more
than they need to, which makes the problem worse.
Try to encourage your family to leave the car at home for
short journeys, and to make one longer trip instead of several
little ones. Following these tips can help Care4Air!
Sharing cars can also help reduce air pollution. If you travel
to school in the car, ask your parent, guardian or school
about setting up a car sharing pool. You could pick up your
classmates on the way, instead of taking five separate cars.
Some cars are better for the environment than others. Old,
big cars often cause the most pollution, new electric cars
or hybrid vehicles are normally the most environmentally friendly.
