About Air

Things you can do to keep Florida's Air Clean

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

• Recycle disposable products (such as aluminum, glass, paper and plastics).

• Reduce the amount of waste you create.

• Buy durable products and reuse them instead of throwing them away.

• Buy products that have less packaging.

• Properly dispose of household paints, solvents, and pesticides (store in airtight containers).

• Use water-based paints.

• Limit use of oil-based paints, solvents, cleaners, or varnishes (oil based paints contain 3 to 5 times more polluting solvents than water-based, latex paints).

• Paint with a brush, not a sprayer.
