Ride your bike, your skateboard, rollerblades, or walk. It's better for you AND the environment!
2) Avoid Rush Hour
Try to wake up earlier to avoid traffic, or find a route where there is less.
3) Combine Errands
Instead of going out on multiple trips, go out and buy everything you need all at once. It saves you time AND money!
4) Remove Excess Weight
What you have in and on your car affects your gas mileage! The more the car weighs, the worse your mileage can be.
5) Tune-up Your Car
Make sure your car is in good shape, if not you could be using more fuel.
6) Drive Intelligently
Don't accelerate too often, turn off the motor while waiting at stoplights, etc.
7) Carpool/Rideshare
Drive with your friends! The more the merrier, you get to drive in the carpool lane (less traffic,) and saves money as well as the environment.
8) Ride the Bus
It's cheaper, relatively comfortable and environmentally friendly!
9) Use the Terrain
If you´re going downhill don't accelerate, if you're going up hill change to a lower gear so the car works less.
10) Sell Your Car
If you sell your car, not only will you have more pocket money but you can buy a more environmentally friendly one, or invest in a bicycle.

I think a lot of people know this measures but we need something which forces to people to comply it
ResponderEliminarEverybody should implement this but...who does? It's hard, people don't worry about these little things that can help a lot. Anyway, this is a good article!
ResponderEliminarThe 10th way is a bit drastic hahaha, we sometimes need to go faster, and a bicycle won't be the solution
ResponderEliminari am completely agree with this article but not with the last way because sometimes we need a faster transport
ResponderEliminarI think they are steps we can make all citizens but certainly no one will comply because the car is an invention that never stop using.
ResponderEliminari think we've spoken many times about these measures or others similars but if we don't apply we are wasting time and our world won't be better.
ResponderEliminari think some of these measures are easy and everybody is able to apply
All know that we shouldn't use much the cars and transport means, but don't share the opinion of take the bus, buy a bicycle and don't make nothing to stop such pollution.
ResponderEliminarThese are more measures that we would have to take, but we are not going to follow then if nobody teaches us, like at the driving schools, the would have to teach to save energy driving
