Auto
Log
A guide to protecting the environment and your investment in your car.
Ever felt you were on a different
planet when a little red "check engine" light comes on your
dash and your mechanic starts talking about OBD-1, OBD-2, DTC, and MIL?
Well this is the guide you have been looking for!!! Learn what these
codes mean and how regular tune-ups and oil changes can help you keep
your car running many more years while reducing your emissions. Learn
why you should find a well-trained, ASE-certified professional auto
technician to do your auto emission and other auto repairs. Technicians
unaware of the recent changes between OBD-1 and OBD-2 technology can
cause unnecessary, frustrating and often expensive errors. The guide
also provides an "Auto Log" that can make it easier for you
and your trained auto technician to keep your car running well.
The
Green(er) Machine
Environmental education for car owners.
The Green(er) Machine is a philosophical guide to preventing your
car from becoming an environmental menace. Produced by the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources, this booklet is a revised version of
The Green Machine, and covers such familiar topics as auto maintenance
and 'green driving,' along with some new topics like car sharing. Cartoon
graphics and easy-to-understand language make it fun to read for both
adults and high school students. Driver Education teachers have found
this booklet very useful in the classroom.

Trends

Why should you care about it? Will it cause your crops to wilt?
Flood your summer beach cottage? Cause disease-carrying insects to move
into your neighborhood? This booklet covers the science and potential
impacts of climate change and provides resources for further investigation.
