TIPS FOR AN ECO-FRIENDLY SUMMER
WHO SAYS EARTH DAY IS ONLY ONCE A YEAR?
You don’t need to wait until Earth Day to be eco-friendly
It is important to be eco-friendly on a daily basis, especially in the summer
The following slides will show you how you can be more eco-friendly this summer
BEACH WATER QUALITY
Check the beach water quality before you arrive at the beach
Make sure there are no hidden pollutants in the water
Visit the Environmental Protection Agency’s website to find out the current water quality report for your chosen beach
SUN PROTECTION
The sun’s UV rays can be very damaging to your skin
Always remember to use sunscreen even on cloudy days
Add extra sunscreen between 10 am and 4 pm when the sun’s rays are the most dangerous
Opt to use a natural sunscreen which is better for your skin and the environment due to the lack of chemically active ingredients
TOPPING OFF YOUR CAR’S GAS TANK
Avoid overfilling your gas tank on hot days
Every gas spill evaporates which can add to air pollution
To err on the safe side, always maintain your gas tank with just enough fuel without it being filled to capacity or worst yet --- overfilled.
AIR QUALITY
Make sure to check your region’s air quality on a frequent basis
Ground level ozone can be the most harmful during the warmest part of the day
If your region is experiencing a bad ozone day it may be better to stay indoors until the air quality improves
MAKE EVERY DAY EARTH DAY!
Follow all of these tips to make every day an eco-friendly one
What are you waiting for? Grab some sunscreen, a hat, check the water and air quality, and head to the beach!
