SAVE THE PLANET

CONSERVE GAS, CUT EMISSIONS

Some quick tips:

  • Consolidate trips to save gas, and carpool, if possible.

  • Keep your tires properly inflated, the engine tuned and the oil changed on schedule.

  • Follow the lead of United Parcel Service, which maps its trips in advance to avoid left turns. (It cuts down on engine idling.)
