Transportation
Make it a Habit to Drive for better MPG
By far, the best recommendation to reduce your fuel consumption is to NOT drive your car. Opt to walk or bike when you can. When you have to drive, there are a few habits to be mindful of to reduce your fuel consumption. Avoiding bad driving habits like accelerating too quickly or late braking and using your cruise control more frequently can all improve MPG. To make things more interesting, keep track of your MPG with each tank fill-up and challenge yourself or compete with a friend to improve the results each time. Click below to LEARN more driving habits to reduce your fuel consumption.

Laurie Kutina 4/12/2021 8:36 AMI am just getting started with recording actions! While I work in climate action/energy & GHG reduction everyday, I look forward to learning new ways to tackle our challenges.-
Frederick S. Moses 4/12/2021 7:34 PMSean Fox and I work in the NBL for Environment. He and I are working with some clients on some cutting edge technology for climate change. For example, direct capture technology of CO2, which the CO2 is then fed back into a turbine as a fuel source. One of many cool things coming soon!
