Action Steps part two
So you’ve been sporting your new refillable water bottle and are feeling good about the Tofu Tuesdays you’ve been throwing with your roomies. Great! If you want to step up the things you could do to reduce your petroleum dependency, we’ve got five more items for you. These may require a bit more planning but can also go a long way in using less gas. So check out how you can kick it up a notch and continue to take your first steps in oil independence.
- Arrange a Carpool with co-workers using RideShare
- Properly inflate your tires Up to 1.2 billion gallons of gasoline could be saved if US drivers inflated their tires properly
- Drive less by Doing Park and Ride at your closest Marta Station. There are so many great things you get from using Marta. You get a bit of exercise from walking, you can catch up on reading, you can play with the new apps on your i-pad, or get early start on email during commute.
- Slow Down!! each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional 20 cents per gallon for gas. It’s good for your environment and your pocket.
- Buy a Bike. There are bike shops everywhere and you can get a starter bike from Atlanta Bicycle Coalition for as low as $50. You can even get your bike decked out at a cool shop like Fixie
