Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Your Travel


A lot of our emissions come from just being inefficient or not deliberate with our daily decisions.  Every day think about how you could reduce the miles you drive and pretty soon you’ll start identifying lots of opportunities:
Combine your trip with another. 
Carpool - Just once a week saves 20%.
Check out your transit options - It may not work for you every time, but use it when it does.
What about your bike? - Get in shape, too! 
Only a mile? - Walk.
Think it through - Do you need to take this trip at all? 
Get it on the Internet. 
Optimize - Save this trip for later and combine with another. 
Telecommute - Work from home occasionally.
