Tips For Green Travel

When traveling by car:
Reduce your speed to 55 mph from 65 mph to increase your fuel efficiency by as much as 15%.
For a 23% improvement, instead of driving 70 mph try 55 mph.

Increase your fuel efficiency on the road by making sure to inflate your tires to the proper level.
If possible, travel close to home…the less you drive, the less damaging the trip is on the environment.
Rent a hybrid or purchase carbon offsets.

If you’re traveling far from home, take an alternative form of transportation, like a train or a bus.
