10.15.08:Greening Up Your Commute
Many people look for ways to be more environmentally friendly, but often overlook simple changes they can make to daily commuting habits. The next time you’re driving to work, be reminded that transportation accounts for approximately one-third of all greenhouse gasses produced in the country and that motor vehicles emit 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) per gallon of gas burned, for a national average of 5.5 tons per year, per motorist. Plus, if you sit in any kind of traffic, note that 2.9 billion gallons of gasoline are wasted daily by commuters stuck in traffic. It’s time to review your daily commute and ask yourself if you can make some of the following changes to be more “green.” Some of them will even save you some green, too.
