Ways to be green: Transport

  1. Only use your car when you have to. Walk or cycle when you can. You will feel better too!
  2. Use public transport instead of your car.
  3. Car share for shopping trips. Go shopping with a friend or neighbour. You might even stop for a coffee and chat together.
  4. Take fewer air flights – Oh we’ve just done that! Don’t go back to old ways after the pandemic.
  5. When on holiday abroad support the local economy. Engage in the local culture rather than staying at all-inclusive resorts.
  6. Offset the carbon produced by your holiday travel. See this as part of the cost of your holiday.
  7. If you are thinking of changing your car, make the fuel efficiency a really important part of your decision making.
  8. Ensure your car tyres are correctly inflated. If they are too soft you will use more fuel.
  9. When you need new car tyres choose energy efficient ones.
