random green tip action

Use vapor-recovery nozzles when fueling up - Image courtesy of http://images.ocregister.com/newsimages/2009/08/14/b78538962z120090814144601000g64j66j12_md.jpg
Use vapor-recovery nozzles when fueling up
Patronize gas stations that have vapor-recovery nozzles (those black, accordion-looking plastic devices attached to the nozzle) whenever you can. They capture the gasoline vapors that escape from automobile tanks when they are being refueled. The vapors are returned to the underground gasoline storage tank through special hoses and pipes. The underground tank is also equipped with a vapor recovery system that works hand-in-hand with the vapor controls on the gasoline pump. This two-step vapor recovery process ensures efficient capture of gasoline vapors.

"I'm not very tech savvy, but even I thought it was very simple to install one of these. The best part is that I got most of it paid for by my electricity company through their rebate program!"
