Kids help spread the word to punp up your tires with pumpemup.org

Speaking of pumping up your tires, as we did the other day, Savannah Walters found out at 9 years of age in 2001 that "the U.S. could save as much oil as would be produced by the new drilling if drivers simply pumped up their car tires to proper inflation levels. In 1995 the US Energy Department said that under-inflated tires waste an estimated 4 million gallons of gas daily in America."

So, she decided to do something about it, and that is the message of this website, pumpemup.org. If you want to find out how to help yourself save some green by going green, read what they have to say.
