History of National Dump the Pump Day

This day has started to encourage people to reduce the amount of gas they utilize by using private transportation and to make them understand the benefits of public transportation. This day not only encourages you to use public transportation but also other alternatives like hybrid vehicles and electric cars. Using alternative transportation helps to save fuel for future generations.
The day can be maximum utilized by not using your car on this day. Avoiding gas on this day will be the best honor you are giving to the efforts put in by the creators of this day. If you can’t avoid gas on this day, then if your family has two or more vehicles, cut it down to one. Using one vehicle per family will also help create awareness of this day.
