Transportation
Improve the MPG on my existing car.
Not everyone has the pocket book to purchase a new electric, hybrid or 40+ MPG vehicle. But you can still do your part to improve your current vehicle's MPG. Regular maintenance and replacement of a few key items will go a long way toward that goal. Click the LEARN button below to explore what you can do to get the most out of your tank of gas:
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Climate ResilienceHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Alana Randol 4/15/2021 10:02 AMI've heard of it, and my alpacas and chickens are uniquely excellent for this idea in farming. We've been planting trees in previously deforested areas of our rural property to create more silvapasture areas. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Accelerating SolutionsWhat inspires you to act on sustainable energy and other energy issues?
Alana Randol 4/15/2021 9:56 AMAlberta is considering a high speed rail solution straight through our main travel corridor between the 2 main cities. The traffic on this corridor is unreal - so the high speed rail might help reduce single car use as well as promote business opportunities and job opportunities up and down the corridor. Reached out to the Transportation Minister to support the study.
