%newline%Small changes can make a "ton" of difference. You do the math:
%newline%
%newline%-1 mile driven = 1 pound of air pollution
%newline%-40 miles driven (the average metro commuter’s daily round trip) = 40 pounds of pollution
%newline%-40 pounds of pollution x 52 days (one day a week for a year) = 2,080 pounds (or 1 ton) of pollution you can keep out of our air by clean commuting.
