Doing Your Part Conveniently

We all want to do our part to support a sustainable environment.  Taking action that’s “convenient”—making it part of our regular routines—is a great way to make a difference. It’s not an “extra” that requires planning and additional effort but it works! 

More and more drivers understand that keeping their car and truck tires properly inflated is in fact an easy, convenient way to do their part.  And here’s a memory jogger: Every time you stop at a convenience store that sells gasoline just remember that inflating your tires to the right tire pressure is also convenient. You’ll be joining millions of other drivers to reduce harmful motor vehicle emissions and support clean air.

In fact, if drivers in the U.S. took just this one action each month, gasoline consumption would be reduced by at least 1.2 billion gallons each year. In addition, this simple act of auto maintenance also extends the life of your tires. That’s important not only to your pocketbook but also to our environment. It slows the rate of the number of used tires we produce—about one tire per person per year. In Illinois, for example, that means 12 million used tires annually.

At AIR-serv we’re doing our part to support the environment as well. Every day routine service calls by our professionally trained technicians ensure that our 65,000 air machines are in top working order when your tires need air. We’ve also prepared materials that explain the ins and outs of reducing automobile pollution not only through maintaining the right tire pressure but also through other auto maintenance routines (tire tips). And  we’re trying to get the word out in a variety of ways. Our colorful new action superhero—AIR-man—for example, is designed to remind drivers in a fun way to “air up” when you fill up. Plus AIR-man can heighten awareness in children.
