"HOW TO PREVENT NOISE POLLUTION"

PREVENTING NOISE POLLUTION:

Don't use your car horn unnecessarily. Don't be part of the problem by leaning on your horn every time someone looks at you wrong on the street. Use your horn only when absolutely necessary, as a way to let someone know that you're present or warn them when they're about to collide with something. It's good driving etiquette, and makes life more pleasant for city-dwellers.

Keep your car in good repair. The sound of a car without a muffler chugging down the street is never welcome, so make sure your'e not the one causing noise pollution in your neighborhood and spring to get your car fixed. Keeping your car in good, quiet working order will be appreciated by everyone who lives near you.

• The same goes for your lawnmower and any other noisy equipment you might use outdoors.
• To have an even greater impact on noise in your area, consider walking or biking instead of using a car whenever possible.
