Cars are one of the great mixed bags of our time. They are at once wonders of engineering and a threat to life on Earth. They create convenience and comfort and also snarled traffic and sprawling suburbs. This week I found a practical Car Carbon Footprint Test that should make you think carefully about how green is your car.
- Perhaps the first question an environmentally conscious driver should ask, is whether they need to drive at all?
- Do you really need a green car, or could you simply walk or cycle to your destinations?
- If you need a green car purely to commute back and forth to work then is there a colleague who you could pool together with to share the expense – two people in one green car is far better than one person in a green car, and one in a fuel guzzling alternative.
- Don’t forget to look into other ways to reduce your environmental impact too – such as by lowering the weight of your vehicle and driving with due care and consideration.
- Doing your bit for the environment doesn’t stop when you hand over your money .
- KEEP DRIVING AND KEEP YOUR CAR GREEN!
- "Buy the car you need, not the car to impress the next-door neighbour" (JOHN ANDERSON)
