* I Conserve electricity and set your air conditioner at a higher temperature.
* I Choose a cleaner commute—share a ride to work or use public transportation. Combine errands and reduce trips.
* I use a bicycle or walk to errands when possible.
* I Defer use of gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment for later in the day, or for days when the air quality is better.
*I Refuel cars and trucks after dusk.
* I Limit engine idling.
* I get regular engine tune ups and car maintenance checks (especially for the spark plugs).
* I Avoid spilling gas and don't "top off" the tank. Replace gas tank cap tightly.
*I Properly dispose of household paints, solvents and pesticides. Store these materials in airtight containers.
* I Paint with a brush, not a sprayer.
* I Buy low VOC paints for indoor and outdoor painting jobs.
* Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.
* Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.
* Avoid burning leaves, trash and other materials.
* Use household, workshop, and garden chemicals in ways that keep evaporation to a minimum, or try to delay using them when poor air quality is forecast.
* Replace your car's air filter and oil regularly

Quit smoking .. 17 years back.
Quit driving for fun .. just drove to the drug store for picking up Pepto-Bismol.
The A/C is off .. it is winter. When in use, it does not use Freon. Same with the Fridge .. both use R134a.
What else .. yes, bought new trees this year for the front-yard.
