Summary:
There are several ways to limit carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.  Using a clothesline instead of a dryer may take a little more time, but the sun and wind will dry clothes without using electricity.  Walking or riding a bike means cars won't be driven as frequently.  Carpooling or using public transportation also reduces the number of cars driven on the roads.  When purchasing a car buying a vehicle with low emissions and maintaining it is extremely green.  Coasting to stops, filling up the gas tank before it hits empty, and taking the shortest routes are also easy ways to save on gas and be environmentally aware.  Recycling waste products is another method to be greener.
