You & the Environment
Owning and riding a vehicle can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect the
environment.
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your vehicle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere's protective ozone
layer.
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling center.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling center
in your area and to get instructions on how to
dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place
used engine oil in the trash or pour it down a
drain or on the ground. Used oil, gasoline,
coolant, and cleaning solvents contain poisons
that can hurt refuse workers and contaminate
drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
