Wondering what you can do?
There are practical things we can all do to be more active and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
Transportation
We use bikes, or we walk whenever possible.
Active transportation is not only carbon-neutral but also great for your health and pocketbook!
We own and use a hybrid vehicle.
These usually use half as much fuel as a regular vehicle.
We car-pool whenever possible.
Why use four cars with one person each, when you can fit four people in one car.
We own and use an electric vehicle.
An electric vehicle costs about $421 to fuel per year, compared to a gasoline-only car’s $1500 (USD).
We use public transit where and when possible.
This reduces traffic congestion and pollution from single-passenger vehicles.
We do not idle at traffic lights, or when stopping for any length of time.
Ten seconds of idling uses more fuel than restarting your car.
