by mail:
When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything
from
credit cards and home equity loans to magazine subscriptions, don't
throw
away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return
envelopes
and, if the return address is outside of Los Angeles, you have a chance
to
clean our air, postage-free. Simply tape the seams with clear tape and
slightly
bulge the envelope to increase its volume before closing it. If the
envelope
features a window, or if you're feeling particularly ambitious, fill a
small
plastic bag (we recommend Ziploc brand Snack Bags) with smog, seal it
and
enclose it in your return envelope and mail. When sending letters to your representatives in Sacramento or Washington, D.C., be sure to enclose some L.A. smog. We recommend you include a printed smog report, so they'll know what they're getting. |
| by car:
A car is, by design, a box of air. The bigger the car, the bigger the
box
of air it is. Next time you're travelling by car to a clean air
destination
outside of L.A. county, fill up your car with smog before you go (don't
forget
the trunk). Then, when you get where you're going, pull the car over
and
give it a good airing out (again, don't forget the trunk). Before you
return,
do the opposite: fill the car up with clean air, then air it out in Los
Angeles
when you get there. Note for SUV owners: The best thing for you to do is fill up your SUV with smog before leaving Los Angeles, then trade it in on a hybrid car at a dealership outside the county. Fill that hybrid car with clean air before you return. The difference in air volume is more than made up for by the reduction in emmissions! |

| by air:
When packing for your next trip out of town, use an oversized suitcase
and
fill up the extra space with smog. Unless your bag is airtight, you may
need
to tape up the seams. When you get to your clean air destination, let
out
the smog, then refill your bag with clean air before you return. |
