Day 26: What you can do today
Find the lowest carbon impact method of getting to church today (walk, bike, take public transportation or carpool). Learning to reduce the amount of miles we drive is one of the most effective ways to reduce our carbon footprint. The average person makes 44 car trips a year which are under a mile. Calculate your carbon emissions from driving. Try to maximize efficiency by doing shopping on your way home from work or somewhere else you have to go. When possible, walk or share rides with friends. When you need a car, consider a local ride-share service such as Goloco or use ZipCar. Consider the advantages of walking: a four-mile round trip by foot keeps about 15 pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe (WorldWatch Institute). |
