[ARCHIVED] Don't Wait To Inflate

Cartoon tire logo for Don't Wait To Inflate campaign

Inflate your tires - save the fish! Recently a new chemical was discovered in a protectant added to strengthen tires for travel. As tires wear down the chemical releases a toxic byproduct  onto roadways.  Water runoff then transports these toxins into local waterways- impairing the health of fish. Because a car's weight increases friction between the tires and asphalt, the tire wears out faster. Properly inflated tires make tires last longer and have less wear.  Learn about this new finding and ways you can travel safely while protecting the environment: https://www.pugetsoundstartshere.org/DontwaittoInflate/
