Telecommute to Save Gas

Implement a telecommuting protocol to cut down car emissions.

Big Meeting?

If you can, take a bus or train to your destination. You’ll be doing the right thing, and more than likely be on time, too.

Are Your Tires Under-Inflated?

50-80% of tires are under inflated and waste up to 5% of a car’s fuel. Properly inflated tires could save up to 2 billion gallons of fuel a year!

Carpoolers

Provide parking incentives for carpoolers such as closer and/or shaded parking spots.

Walk or Carpool

According to AAA, the cost for owning and operating an average size car is 54 cents per mile, when driven 15,000 miles per year. Walk or carpool when you can.

Drive Smoother

Drive smoother! Think ahead and avoid sharp braking and rapid acceleration. It saves fuel and dollars.

Walk More, Drive Less

Driving 10% less by walking, cycling, carpooling or taking public transit can reduce greenhouse gas emmissions by 0.2-0.8 tonnes per year, depending on the vehicle.

Drive Less

Implement a workweek with four 10 hour days instead of five 8 hour days.

Telecommuting

Consider telecommuting to allow employees to work from home one day a week.

Save Water While Washing Your Car

Use old rags and a bucket of water instead of a hose to wash your car with much less water waste.
