Lenten Carbon Fast

Annual Ecumenical Lenten Carbon Fast
Day 20: What you can do today
This is a hard one:  Keep your highway driving speed between 55 and 60 mph today.  For most vehicles, 55 mph is the most fuel efficient highway speed and will save you up to 20-30% in fuel costs compared to driving at 75 mph. Automobile emissions are one of the leading causes of greenhouse gases.  Don't idle your car at traffic lights and drive-up windows.  If you have to stop for more than 10 seconds, you will save gas and reduce greenhouse emissions by turning off your engine.
