 Cars and trucks. They're a leading cause of air pollution in DFW. If our engines are running, we're polluting. So how can we cut back on unhealthy carbon emissions? Contrary to popular belief, restarting your car does not burn more fuel than leaving it running. In fact, idling for just 10 seconds wastes more gas than restarting the engine. Carpooling is one of the easiest ways to reduce carbon emissions. Carpooling cuts down on the number of cars on the road, which keeps the air, water, and land cleaner. Using public transportation also cuts carbon emissions and saves you some gas money. To find your closest option, check out Bortworth, Texas, dot gov slash transportation.
