Infographic: Green transportation – Reduce your carbon footprint

First off, who doesn’t love green transport huh?  Reduce our reliance on imported or any oil? Clean the air, the environment and even drive more effectively?  Yes an electric car is more secure and responsive than most of its counterparts.  I digress.

As I have written before:

“What makes a city green? From recycling and green transportation, to forest preservation efforts and using the latest technology to provide energy to homes. These four American cities are at the forefront of ushering in a new era of sustainable change. Here’s what these green cities are doing to make our world a healthier place.” To read that entire post, click above.

Conclusion

There are a few things you can do to help reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment. One of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is by simply changing the way you drive. Leave your car in a parking lot that is close to the entrance of your office building or other business. Parking is often the most efficient way to travel in most cities, but it also has one of the largest carbon footprints per vehicle. By doing so, you will save money in the long run and reduce your impact on the environment.

If you live in an urban area, you can also take public transportation. The carbon footprint that comes from using public transportation is much lower than driving your own car. When you take public transportation, you will contribute much less to the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
