Tip # 5 - Drive A hybrid car

If you have to drive, at least drive hybrid.

Hybrids are cars that run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline, rather than just gasoline.

Hybrid batteries help to reduce fuel emissions because the hybrid engine draws on the battery and not gasoline when accelerating. Hybrid gasoline motors can shut off when the car is stopped and run off their electricity.

Tip # 4 - Walk or Cycle instead of drive

Walking or Cycling instead of riding the bus/driving a car is healthier and decreases CO2 Emissions.
It often saves you money for fuel, parking and traveling fares and you can enjoy the view and actually talk to people on your way.

Tip # 1 - Plant A Tree Annually

Every year plant at least one tree.


Trees and green vegetation absorb CO2 from the air and produce oxygen. They give us clean air to breath and reduce the greenhouse gasses that effect climate change.


Native trees are always better then non-native, and will adapt better to your living emviroment.


This action could become a family holiday celebrated once a year or be correlated with different annual events.
