Go Green Anywhere!
Whether you're at home, at work, or on the road, you can continue to go (and stay) green! Check out some tips for going green on the go!

On the road:

  • Buy smart - before buying or renting a vhicle, check out EPA's Green Vehicle Guide.
  • Drive smart - to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, accelerate gradually and rive the speed limit.
  • Use cruise control on the highway.
  • Combine errands into one trip to save 500 miles of driving per year.
  • Lighten your load. 100 pounds of junk in the trunk can reduce gas mileage by 2%.
  • Check your air filter monthly and replace it when it looks dirty.
  • Keep tires properly inflated - Under-inflated tires increase tire wear, reduce fuel economy by up to 3%, and emit more pollutants into the air.
  • Don't idle for more than 10 seconds - instead, turn off your engine
  • Carpool or bus or ride your bike
