- Use water and energy efficiently.
- Write a To Do list before heading out to run errands so you don’t have to backtrack and make unnecessary trips later.
- When you get your oil changed have them check your tire pressure – make the effort to do this yourself before going on any big trips. Think about how much more energy it takes to ride your bike when the tires aren’t fully inflated. The same is true of your car – it performs a lot better with properly inflated tires.
- Buy local whenever possible.
- Don’t drive over 55 mph when you don’t have to – your fuel economy dives 15-20% when you go from 55 to 70 mph.
