What can we do to Improve Air Quality?
• Take Public transportation • If you have a vehicle, make sure it is up to
inspection standards. • Choose a Hybrid! New York also has the
largest hybrid bus fleet in the country, and some of the first hybrid taxis.
• Plant a tree: NYC has the Million Tree
Initiative
