Commitment to Care in November 2022

Reduce Fossil Fuel Waste When Using Transportation

​

Take a look at the bullet list below and consider

1. Which do you already do?
2. Which can you commit to add to your life this month?
3. Which can you influence your workplace to use?

 

• ​Purchase a car with good fuel economy. Maintain engine/tire pressure. Change oil/air filters.
• Over 55 miles per hour is least efficient: choose roads where you can safely drive more slowly. Easy stops and starts. Do not idle.
• Where feasible, walk, bicycle, carpool, or take public transportation.
• Consider alternatives: combine trips, web conference meetings, etc.
• Flying is the “dirtiest” way to travel. Can you use an alternative? Can you offset your carbon use?
