How to Make Your Car Green
In the U.S., around twenty percent of all greenhouse gas emissions come from the vehicles we drive on a daily basis. This in effect is contributing to climate change, disease and pollution. So if you consider yourself to be environmentally conscious, then you’ve got make some changes in your driving habits. And while most people can’t afford to throw down the cash for a hybrid these days, that’s perfectly okay; you just need to make a little extra effort if you want to reduce your car’s carbon footprint.
1. Use less gasoline. Every gallon of gas you use produces about twenty pounds of carbon dioxide which is absolutely terrible for the environment. You can easily reduce your usage by utilizing public transportation, car pooling and telecommuting when you can. Also consider bicycling. It’ll be great for the environment and you might even lose a few pounds.
2. Drive the speed limit. You car is most efficient at or below sixty miles per gallon. So avoid speeding down the highway on your way to work, maybe even go a little under if you can.
3. Don’t let your car idle. Even if it’s just for a few minutes, always shut your car off. Also, avoid warming up your engine. Most relatively new models don’t require it anyway.
4. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Check your car manual if you aren’t sure what pressure is appropriate. Having properly inflated tires is another easy way to make your car more fuel efficient.
5. Replace your headlights with automotive led lights. This will conserve energy and they will last far longer than your average bulb.
6. Perform all routine maintenance. This will make your car much more fuel efficient and it will also keep your car performing at its best.
7. Don’t carry anything unnecessary in your car. Carrying around heavy objects in your backseat or in your trunk will add to the weight your engine has to move. This is a great excuse for you to clean out your car and get better gas mileage.
These are just a few things you can do to reduce your car’s negative impact on the environment. Make sure to do plenty of research and find other ways in which you can make a difference. Even simple lifestyle changes can help fight global warming.
