Citizen Involvement
Protecting the environment isn't just a responsibility of business and
industry. As individual citizens, we all should do our part. During Ozone
Action Days, we can reduce ozone-creating activities. Vehicle emissions
testing, a legal requirement in major metropolitan areas, ensures that
our vehicles aren't polluting more than necessary. Twice each year, we
have the opportunity to safely dispose of common household hazardous wastes.
In addition to recycling aluminum cans, bottles, plastic, and paper, we
can recycle paint, oil, and tires, items that you might not have considered
before. Lastly, we can volunteer to help monitor the water quality of
our lakes, or to help pick up trash along our rivers.
