Consider using alternative transportation when traveling short distances.

​

• Choose to use a bike or walking instead of taking the car.

• Consider using public transport, which is already in use.

• Try avoiding using planes while traveling as planes consume a lot of fuel.

​

There is a possibility to pay to offset the emissions made on the flight.

• Prefer using eco-friendly companies which will add the carbon emissions to the total which paid. This gives them money to clean the emissions that were created, companies such as consensus give this option.

• Opt to use economy class which costs less and although it has less space so companies can fit more people on the plane, it is also an option to downsize the luggage weight to lower the fuel used.

​

Using sustainable driving.

• While driving use gear shifting to lower the speed instead of using the brakes.

• Also check the tire pressure to ensure the optimal fuel consumption.

• Consider purchasing a hybrid or electric car so that when on a large journey diesel or petrol isn’t used.

• If traveling on a motorway turn on cruise control to save as much fuel as possible. This means keeping a constant acceleration and not working the engine as much which reduces toxins released.

• Plan ahead so that the travel time won’t be extended which will save more fuel. Using apps such as “waze” which will warn drivers of delays or accidents.​
