Protecting the Environment from Acid Rain

You can do the following to protect the environment from acid rain:

• Turn off lights, computers, and other appliances when you're not using them.
• Use energy efficient appliances: lighting, air conditioners, heaters, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.
• Only use electric appliances when you need them.
• Keep your thermostat at 68°F in the winter and 72°F in the summer. You can turn it even lower in the winter and higher in the summer when you are away from home.
• Insulate your home as best you can.
• Carpool, use public transportation, or better yet, walk or bicycle whenever possible.
• Buy vehicles with low NO_x emissions, and maintain all vehicles well.
