Some people we know are not able to use public transport very effectively due to living in rural areas. But in most cases there will be times when you can leave the car and walk or cycle for short journeys, especially as it is short journeys by car, which are the most polluting. Also consider car sharing, either to work (if you live near a colleague) or for the kids’ school runs.

There are often several children going to school who live in the same area who are individually driven to school. Not only would this save you money on petrol but lots of time in the mornings and afternoons too! Consider fitting your car with a fuel saver, which reduces the amount of fuel your car uses to run, so that even the trips you do have to make are cheaper and healthier!
