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](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/04/reimagining-urban-landscapes-the-future-of-green-cities/)
are doing to make our world a healthier place.” To read that entire post, click

transportation and how it can help save costs and reduce carbon emissions? Check

Champaign below.

### 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.
